About to pull the trigger..

How does this spec look?

Already have:
Corsair TX650 (it has 2x PCI-E 6+2 connectors so I assume it's adequate)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
Antec Kuhler 620
Dell u2311h

Aim is to play BF3 maximum settings all the bells & whistles at 1920x1080 edit-, Deus ex + bad company 2 up until bf3 release date.

Thanks!

Just two changes,

RAM - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-290-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Board - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-458-AS


The RAM isnt as tall as the Vengeance RAM and will fit under most heatsinks.
The Z68 board is cheaper but has SSD caching, Lucid Virtu and Quicksync.



For that card yes.

Fair point with the memory, might aswell save some money.

Are the Z68 features actually worth it? I won't use SSD caching for sure. I chose that particular P67 mobo due to the overclocking potential, will the alternatives suggested OC just as well? (Looking for ~4.5ghz OC)

The thing I'm really unsure about is the frozr 570 vs toxic 6950.. as the 6950 would offer me more performance for the money IF it unlocks to the 6970, but ofcourse no guarentees...
