My Summer 2012 Build

[njallday]

So this summer i'm planning on selling my current rig to a buddy and building an Ivy Bridge rig with my old Gtx 570

How does this sound (performance and asthetics)

-i5 3570k

-ASRock Z77 Extreme4

-8 GB Blue Corsair Vengeance

-EVGA Gtx 570

-Corsair AX750 (Blue sleeved cables later on)

-NZXT Switch 810 (Black)

-Gelid Wings fans(UV Blue)

-WD 500gb Blue Caviar

-Kingston HyperX 90gb SSD

-Windows 7 obviously

-Intel enclose watercooling loop

Thoughts?

uhhh...asrock...well if your on a tigh budget then it will get the job done, but really you should be going for something like asus or gigabyte, many asus boards have black and blue accents to them so it would also match the case aesthetically,

also for a single 570 ax750 is a slight overkill but its future proof.

people still think that they need those overkill power supplies, the times changed now for a single card you dont need more than 600w of quality psu as they became far more efficient.

I'd get a 7850 instead of the 570 but otherwise it looks good.

Yeah I found a gigabyte with better reviews for around the same price. But ASRock's Z77 boards have gotten decent reviews. But yeah I'm running a similiar system on a 620w but I'm just going for the 750 for future card SLI possibly (assuming less power consumption). I also already have a new 570 from an RMA so I have no need for the 7850.
