New set up

[MiRai]

I don't know what model that board is... MSI only lists a P67A-GD65. Z68 chipsets are supposed to be released in
about 7 days. When they are available you won't want P67 anymore.

This is what happens when you skimp on your research, thanks I'll look into the new chipset.

Don't get me wrong... P67 will still be viable and will still stay in production for a bit I'm sure. But if you need bleeding edge
technology Z68 is going to have more bells and whistles than P67. Of course, compare those bells and whistles for the price
and see if you really need them. Sandy Bridge also has an H67 chipset but that's the low end chipset and I would recommend
P67 or Z68 over it.

Thanks GTX 580 it is

I'm going to be stepping up my EVGA GTX 570 to a 1.5GB 580 this week hopefully. I'd really like a 3GB model but... I'm not
entirely sure it's in the cards.

Why did you choose the older version of the SSDs?

Skimped on my research again.

It's all good. The Vertex 3's are the OCZ's you're going to be looking at. However, I feel that OCZ can be hit or miss after
reading a lot of random hardware forums. Vecter convinced me to go with the Intel 510's instead of the OCZ V3's and I'm
easily impressed by their performance. You must realize that if you're looking at specs on SSDs it's highly doubtful you will
reach those speeds all the time, if at all.

12GB is triple channel... 1155 chipsets use dual channel.

Well I just messed that all up.

I made it a point to buy a board that supported 32GB even though they don't have 8GB consumer level modules out just
yet so I've only got 16GB, but at least I know I can double that in the future if need be.

Theres a reason I posted this before I did somthing stupid now I have time to correct my mistakes before I waste all that money. Thanks for the quick response.
