Building a system, still unsure of Video Card

[Tyval]

So getting ready to order my machine, but figured I would post the specs to get elicit feedback, just in case before I purchase.

I went a little crazy, but I have a xmas bonus this year to cover the cost hehe.

The important bits:

Motherboard. Asus Rampage III Extreme
CPU i7-980X EE
12 gig ram 3x4gig cosair cominator
Crucial RealSSD C300 (x2)
Corsair Hydro H70 CPU cooler
EVGA superclocked GTX 580
Silverstone ST1000 1000W Power suply

Merry xmas to me!

Thoughts?

I assume you will raid the SSD's? I like the revo's better but if you raid them I can't see much edge in the revo's.

Ya well thats about as good a system off the shelf that you can get. Lot of overkill but Merry Xmas!

"superclocked" is like going from 772 to 794 or some such small percentage, unless its like only $20 or so more dosn't seem worth it.

Might consider the water cooled gtx 580 if you are water cooling the cpu.


I won the 460 auction, should be good for my main (one client) at full effects in cata!

Ya, I think the video card was only about 20 more, maybe less than that, was picked more because of availability not because it was overclocked a bit.

I still haven't pulled the trigger yet on buying as I'm still pondering, lot of money to spend.

The main thing I want to be able to do, is 5 box on two monitors and up the graphics settings on the main toon and have no lag issues etc.. Plus be ready for a few of the new MMOs coming down the pipe.

I may have an option to cut 400 off the cpu price via intel friend.

Decisions decisions.
