System Question

[Ethanc]

If you intend to overclock I'd go with a good aftermarket cooler for the CPU. Comming from i7 overclocking I can recommend the Prolimatechs (Megahalems / Shadow / Super Mega). I'm unsure about their new Genesis because it blocks the RAM banks but that can be an advantage in cooling too. Easy mounting, good performance and still very quiet with a good fan.

I looked at the Prolimatech Supermega and the only concern I would have is that it would get in the way of the RAM I chose, guaranteed I could always pick a RAM with a smaller heatsink. I would like to be able to get 16gb into this system.

On a side note I assume that I would have to buy a 120mm-140mm fan to sit on top of that?

Updated the orginal post, thanks for reminding me.

Concerning the Intel 510's, Are there any performance differences between it and the Vertex 3? They are the same price on Newegg for the same amount of space and I didn't know if I was missing something while reading.

There are performance differences across the board regardless of which SSD you choose... that includes both brand and size.
The OCZ V3's are technically the fastest drives out there when it comes to benchmark numbers, but hardly any of that is
every day real world performance. What I like to look at is reliability.

Mr. Fenril, how do you figure that Intel SSDs are more reliable than OCZ SSDs?

I'm glad you asked that. Technically, I don't know. But, just by browsing hardware forums on a regular basis I rarely see people
bitching about Intel SSDs (or even Crucial for that matter), but someone is always bitching about their OCZ drive. Something
else that really bothers me about OCZ is their forum. If you look at Intel's SSD forum and OCZ's SSD forum (after you get past
OCZ's 15 fucking stickies) and compare them side-by-side on how many people are having issues with their drives every day. I
think you'll notice that OCZ has a plethora of problems going on over at their forum while Intel's forum is nice and quiet.

It can always be argued though that since OCZ boasts the biggest numbers, they have the most customers, and, in turn, have
the most reported issues. Who knows?

Anyway, get rid of that stupid GTX 590. The 590 is just two underclocked 580's jammed on the same card. They're
underclocked because if they weren't the card would probably catch on fire. I own the 3GB GTX 580 and this thing can pump
out some heat.

I'll look more into the the Intel 510's a bit more. Do you use just 1 3GB GTX 580?
I am trying to order everything from Newegg and the only 3GB GTX 580 I found was the one by ZOTAC

Well I changed the CPU after the suggest of switching from the i7 Extreme Edition Gulftown 3.46.

The power supply I was thinking of bringing it down to a 1000W but I would like some room to upgrade in the future.

I was looking at an aftermarket cooler although I think it was something of a combination of a watercooled + fan but I didn't know how easy it would be/where to mount it. It was the Corsair Hyrdo H70 which is compatible with the 1155 socket. I will look into the fan you suggested.
