I'm not exactly sure if this post fits in this section but allow me to give my thoughts.

I say go with the mushkin ram combined the 670 since I think it's a truly awesome card for the money and it won't take up much space either. Corsair memory is all over this place but they're not the only good memory out there. It's good to be a little different if possible.

my question to you is dye or clear with colored tubes?

well since you are on a 2011 core, i'd assume from the processor, you are gunna need some

muscle to support the 2011 platform. the 2133 RAM is topline. overclocking and general

speeds will be endowed, but again, do you want performance (not really felt other than the

wallet is lighter) or you like to have the best in show. either would be a fine choice.

and again, this is a close test on GPU selection. the 670 would be an excellent choice, but

again if you are the gotta have the best in my rig, the 680 is the nod.

if its vid rendering, larger PS graphic mans, CAD/CAM or database builds you gotta get the

highend stuff or suffer a lil in performance for cost. if you aren't doing the above and game

heavily you are kinda over-powered. we wont know until you tell us.

Is this for gaming mate? If so you could save quite a few quid by getting an 1155 i5 (like nearly £300)

Ah ok then, crack on!

If you are going to OC then I'd get the 670 and have a go at over clocking it. Performance wise the 670 and 680 are virtually the same when both are overclocked, will save you over £100 for some R&R beerage!

No worries, you'll have a beast on your hands there. The Rampage is fantastic, enjoy!
