Welcome to pcmech forums. Everything you picked looks great other than Toshiba Hard Drive.
Do yourself a favor and get Western Digital Black! |

I thought Toshiba only made laptop drives?
Concur - WD Black. Make sure that Vengeance ram is the low profile version, not the standard with the tall heatsinks. |

Research reveals:
WD has bought out Hitachi's 2.5" drive and SSD business. Toshiba has bought out Hitachi's 3.5" drive business. So - that Toshiba drive is probably a Hitachi. Acceptable, but the real WD Black is a better drive. AnandTech - Western Digital To Sell Hitachi's 3.5 The article also indicates that this drive may actually be being built by WD under contract to Toshiba, using Hitachi technology. |

thank you for the welcome!
I will try to replace the Toshiba to a WD HDD. This the Vegence ram: Newegg.ca - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B My questions are : will I be able to take full advantage of the GTX 670 with 3570k? and if the vengence ram is not compatible should I get this Newegg.com - CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMD8GX3M2A1866C9 instead if the 16gb? |
