I'm sure that the Coolit Eco c240 will not fit into the case you have selected,with the NZXT 59 being a new case none of the builder's have had a chance to build into I could'nt confirm this 100%,the problem is there is'nt enough clearance at the top of the case when the motherboard is fitted to accomodate the Coolit eco,we can confirm this when we get stock's of the NZXT.

Aside from the possible ECO 240 issue this will tear through games :tank:

i'd probably recommend a single powerhouse card over 2 weaker cards, that way you can upgrade to have 2 powerhouse cards

I have put together a build for you. I didn't go with an overclocked system because you don't get a big advantage when it comes to gaming and it shortens the lifespan of your cpu. I dropped the ram down to a Samsung version because you don't notice any difference because unless you are overclocking. I have also upgrade the graphics card to the gtx 570 sli to get better fps and i got the haf-x case for maximum space and cooling.

GPUs - Dual or single

Hi ty for The replys, my biggest issues was the GPUs whats better 2 x 2GB or a 1 x 3/4 GB card, I know Thera a lot of dif reasons to have Both but as the dude above said I could go for a 3/4 gb card and get a second later, I play the odd mmo and cod but just sick of having them set low want to really see what the games are made of for once, cheers guys

 

[Frenchy]

The number of GB of VRAM is useful for rendering larger images. If you are using a single screen then 1.5GB is plenty, if like me you are using 3 screens in full HD then 3GB is a much better option. As soon as your computer runs out of VRAM it then has to start swapping which is extremely expensive and your framerates will drop like a stone. Also bear in mind 2 x 2GB cards does not = 4GB card, it equals power of 2 cards but with 2GB VRAM.

If you are looking at using a single screen then depending on the card id suggest 2 x 2GB cards. If looking at 3 screens then if you are looking at higher resolutions you may need to consider 3 or 4GB cards, 3GB will be plenty but obviously ATI often do 4 instead of 3.
