Hows this gaming rig?

[Teaz]

go for the pro, or better the z68 v-pro. for cod, its a no brainer game but for WoW or those big maps games like bf3 etc etc with lots of guys like during dungeons or large 25+ guild raids or etc, it wouldnt be much of a problem. the gpu does more of the work on it.

the motherboard wouldnt do you anything apart from the features an hooking up the parts.

looks good. if your comfortable with the price then its ready

 

[jacktimson]

Yeaa, i was looking for about 1400, but ill stretch that little bit extra

 

[Teaz]

lol well the only thing i can think currently is the card reader? if you dont think you will have needs for it then you could deduct £4 off the price which is quite the no brainer

a little advice here though, you're planning to sli the 580 down the road with the big psu right? if so i would advise you go for the pci-e version of the wireless card as looking from the board layout, it will leave a small breathing room gap for the 1st 580 so when you add the second 580, the wireless card doesnt clog that small breathing gap. the pci-e type will be or should be applied on top of the 1st 580 which should be the very 1st small pci-e slot this way, there is some small breathing room between the 2 580s where the fans on the gpu can breath or take in air.

I originally thought to go for the PCI-E wireless card, so looks like i will I am planning on SLI so its a good move tbh
