Sandy bridge build

[Kevin]

Im planning to build a sandy bridge gaming pc and i though im going to so share my list

Gainward GeForce GTX 570 Phantom

Kingston SSD V+100 128GB

Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB

MSI P67A-G45

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W

NZXT Phantom

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit oem

Noctua NH-D14

i5-2500K

Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB) 1600MHz Grey Series

I think i dont really need NHD14 unless if I overclocked the cpu but even then if i did overclocked the cpu it wouldnt produce as much heat. so what do you think guys should i keep it in my list?

thanks

I think you'd be better of posting this in the new build advice section. Most people would probably ditch the CM PSU & go for Corsair, Enermax or Seasonic instead. The Phantom case ain't that great for airflow - so unless you just have to have it, there are other better cases out there for the money - Fractal R3, CM HAF 932 Advanced etc.

For best oc,you need the nh-d14.When oc`ed they are hot.

And like sheroo said,there are better cases out there.Psu,get corsair tx 750 v2 or better(corsair hx,ax).

Good oc`s comes with mobo`s that are build for it,asus p67 sabertooth will outperform nearly any, more expensive mobo.

Gpu i would chose msi or gigabyte with their aftermarket coolers.

from the reviews i've read the psu is just as good as the corsair ax's so you're fine there, just get what's cheaper. i would also recommend a silverstone raven or fortress series case if you want better ariflow.

Sorry for posting it here as i was in a hurry. I was looking at Fractal and corsair tx series probably 850w. Thanks y'all
