[QUOTE="toddmarshall161"]I want to play most, if not all, the latest games in ultra using a 1080p hdtv.I have gained a bit of knowledge and the following components are commonly what I have come across. HOWEVER, I need more knowledge on balancing power etc with gpu. cpu etc
CASE - Coolermaster HAF - not sure whether 922 mid, 932 advanced full or 932 high airflow
CPU - intel 2500k (overclocked or not overclocked?)
MOBO - Asus P8Z68-V, Intel Z68 Chipset
COOLER - coolit eco II, coolit eco c240, arctic cooling freezer 7/13 pro and BE Quiet Dark Rock are ones ive come across - not sure on which?
GPU - shall i go sli,crossfire or stick with one? I hear one is more safe and prevents microshutter or something...anyway, i want at least a gtx 570 if not 580
SSD and HDD - (should i have both first of all?) and shoud i go crucial, coursair force 3, or ocz
PSU - 650, 750 or 850w corsair enthusiast?
PLEASE HELP ME
I AM LOOKING TO SPEND NO MORE THAN 1200 GBP

Thats good enough for 1080 gaming, i'd say you buy a aftermarket cpu cooler like the hyper 212 and overclock your i5 2500k, Get a single GTX 580, and get another one in like another year or two, SSD wise (if you have enough money for it) either get a 120gb boot drive ssd from corsair or patriot or if you dont have enough money, get a 40gb corsair and have it as a cache for your mechanical drive. What website will you be buying these parts from? just want to estimate what different combos would cost youI will be using an online pc specialist to custom build me one unfortunately. I have no knowledge whatsoever to construct one myself.
Are you saying I should go for a large ssd and not get a hdd?
will a 650 w corsair enthusiast power two gtx 580s as if i buy one later, as you said, i need to ensure the psu is sufficient
pcs specialist or scan are the two im thinking of buying one from
these are the prices
asus p8z68 106 quid
intel i5 2500k 139 quid
