Advice on New Build, Help!

[SpeeLee]

Hi I need some help with my new build. I would like to play games (BF3, diablo3, Crysis, Guild Wars 2), and also run 3D software and 2D software.

Anyways take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Goals: use it for games and 3D sculpting.

Potential: I would also like to upgrade to liquid cooling soon and also get the GTX 680

Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D or Silverstone FT02

(I'm going back and forth on the Silverstone TJ11)

Graphics: Asus GTX 560

(Eventually I'd like to update to the GTX680 when its available on Newegg)

PSU: Corsair AX850

Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X series 16GB (4x4GB)

(I would like fast memory due to the 3D sculpting)

Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 INTEL

Processor: Intel i7 3930 (Ivy Bridge worth considering?)

Heatsink: Noctua NH-D14

OS: Windows 7 Professional

Any input is appreciated!

Thanks!

Well, that's a pretty damn nice build! For heavy 3D stuff the 3930k would be better than Ivy I'd say.

All that's missing are storage devices. Perhaps a Crucial M4 SSD or a Samsung 830-series one?

definitely go for the 3930. Ivy is a refinement of sandy not an upgrade.

If your air cooling definately go for the FT02. I had a air cooled rig in one and it's excellent. The rotated mobo tray and the 3 AP181 fans really do make for excellent cooling. And they seem to be the 'in' case for watercooling atm due to the Magicool 180 radiators.

Forgot about the Storage. I was going to get OCZ but read there are some problems. I will probably get a Intel or Crucial

Thanks guys!
