The video card you have chosen is the best choice for all your uses.
Have you already BOUGHT a power supply? |

The Thermaltake is already in my computer I built in 2007. I had an Antec that died outside of their warranty period. I bought the Thermaltake to replace it last January. Then I noticed that Neweggs website listed the warranty longer than Antec box did I contacted them and they replaced it with the TP-650 which I have as a spare power supply.

Any thoughts on the SSD? I know you guys recommend Intel for the reliability. I have a Corsair do you think the Kingston Hyper X is better in the performance area? Also between corsair and Kingston which is more reliable?

Hello Dredging up my old thread. I was planning on upgrading then decided to wait till ivy bridge came out. I am planning on ordering everything now. I have changed 3 things.
Motherboard ASUS P8Z77-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard I decided to go with the intel SSD especially since the 520's came out. I plan on putting my OS, CS5 and maybe a couple of games on this. The 240gb is a good price so I figured I would grab that instead of the 120gb. Intel 520 Series Cherryville SSDSC2CW240A3K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Finally the processor I waited for ntel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics Is there anything else I need to change? |

You should be good to go. You may want to look at some of the new video cards that have come out recently.

The 570 is still a great card for CS5, I don't personally think the 680 is worth the price jump for the amount of gain you will get.

Would there be any benefit to going to the 2560mb version? Looks like you lose the overclocking.

Thanks everyone for the helpful input. I got my build put together this weekend and its running awesome. I will have to say the Coolmaster HAF 932 and Hyper 212 Evo combo is seriously quiet. Plus it does an excellent job of cooling.
