First system purchase / improvements+advice

[eXalin]

Hi guys, just changing the basket around before I go ordering and wondered if any of you have any reccomendations or advice on the components iv chosen.

I want to be able to play crysis on as high settings as possible on the 23.6 inch monitor(will the resolution be too hard to handle for my gfx card?)

I also want 3d in the future, which is why I chose this monitor and the nvidia card

What do you all think of this

Looks good dude, only thing I would do is cahnge the HDD to a F3 and not a F1, right now its cheaper at 1TB

Edit:
I change the build around to inculde a 480 instaead of the 470 might be better if you intend to play games in 3D.

nice build OP, I'd go with a modular PSU tho

Thanks guys

The corsair ram says it is optimised for intel systems, thats why I didnt choose it, but if it saves an extra 10/15quid im happy.

I am very tempted to get the 480, but I'm unsure as to whether it is worth the extra 100quid more? need some reassurance on that!

What is the gigabyte motherboard like, that you suggested fallen?

Does this motherboard support x16 PCI-E x2 for if i chose to go SLI in the future?

Just as good as the asus one and the 480 well help when your playing 3D games so I think its better to spend money on the GPU instead of CPU and ram and mobo. Either way it should be a great rig.

I would recommend you look at runnning 2 x Radeon 5750s or 5770s in crossfire it will give you great performance for less £s than the 470. Also the arctic freezer is not great if you got a coolmaster hyper 212+ for around £5 more you could get 3.6-4GHz from the 1055T.
