It looks good to me, If it was me I would swap that 560 out for a TI, or for a 6950, BF3 would really benefit from the quicker card.

When your build a brand new computer, You can't place the side back on the case before powering it up or it won't work.

Leave the side off and it's first turn on works perfectly.

Put the side on and its a 45 minute battle getting it to post.

Well you have till the 25th to complete it. I have been playing the beta some, and so far so good. It's open now if you just want to try it out.

But hurry if you want to try it because the date says the beta closes on the 10th.

i5 2500k Sandy Bridge
8Gb ram(1600)
ASrock P67 Extreme 4 Gen 3

and have to order: HIS 6950 2-gb 256-bit


Bulldozer looked like disappointment, i5>1100T when it comes to gaming.

So uhh.... what sort of power supply do you plan on using with these behemoth parts you've ordered?

Thats before free radical overclocking, My 955 is supposed to be slower then the majority of i7's and i5's because its stock freqency is 3.2Ghz

Well a 3.881Ghz sets it above what a intel i7 920 does at stock frequencies, plus i look more at the smoothness of the gameplay over what fraps says in the top right corner on a system. I mean when your already getting 90+fps whats the difference between 91 and 98 fps.


But anyways my buddy has the 2500k, and that's a sweet sweet processor. (especially when overclocked..hint hint)

Mentioning the 6950 here... Why do they even sell 6970 anymore? Just asking out of curiosity
