pls need urgent attention


thanks a lot



in addition, anyone with sli 670 have any benchmark for crysis 3
as i saw in the web many different type of benchmarks performance that may be due to many other factors.

i hope to play at ultra setting, 8x msaa, AF 16X, all max settings..at two screen 1920*1080*2.

Please change SSD to something else, ideally a Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme, at all cost. TLC NAND will not last long.

And downsize the PSU to Seasonic X/P-660/760 will do. 900W is way overkill and Antec's warranty is short and PSU is inferior to Seasonic X in all aspect.

I think you miss out an aftermarket cpu cooler too..

Good motherboard, Overkill Psu, Underperforming HDD. Better RAMS imo ?

If you intend to overclock, better to get an aftermarket cooler.

Yes if overclocking (which is highly probable since you're getting a K series CPU)

But you can choose to get it at later time when you want to OC.

HDD performance is not an issue for sole personal data storage. Higher speed RAM doesn't translate into justifiable better performance. It is instead better to scrimp on RAM especially in these days..

Xigmatek Gaia from $37 for a good start.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo from $59 for a very value and great performer.
