    I've got the same motherboard, I think.
    Asus P8Z68-VPro.

    My graphics card is also a GTX 570.
    Mine is the 1GB version, so your 2GB will be better.

    I'm using the same SSD, OCZ Vertex 3, 120GB as my boot drive.
    The first one died after a couple of weeks.
    My local store has a 4 year warranty (instant product replacement) plan, so I had a brand new one that day.
    And the new one has been great.

    I've got the i5 2500K.
    The i7 2600K is marginally faster, but has 4 logical cores to go with the 4 physical cores, which can help you multitask or stream better, etc.
    EverQuest I: Bard / Enchanter / Druid / Wizard / 2x Magician.
    Diablo III: 4x Crusader & 4x Wizard.

    Yes I thought the additional RAM in the graphic card might help. I took the i7 over the i5 simply due to what you stated - possible streaming etc. Good to hear that the SSD is working out and overall it seems I am ready to order it.

    Thanks for your reply, I think I am just gonna go with that setup
