The cooler is great and will easily manage.

A GXT570 is good, just more dollars.

The weekly offers change on Wednesday so see what turns up then.
 
Should i go with the 850w since im going to go with the 570 and possibly SLI in the future?

Which 570 should I go with?

we sue pound Stulid :rolleyes::p:D

570 is a great card. One thing I would change about Stu's spec is the CPU. Go for a retail version for the peace of mind of having an extra 2 yrs warranty.

For the 570 I would highly recommend THIS one.

If any of your video editing programmes can utilise extra VRAM then you may want to consider THIS 570

If you want a really good CPU cooler, THIS one is one of the best on the market

see my post above ^^

GTX570 sli only needs a 750W PSU.

850w would cover you for GTX580's

Which is why i'd go with the 850 :) Futureproofing

HBut the motherboard I specced doesnt do SLI.

obviously, get a different mobo :p
 
It really depends what you'll be using it for. Just video editing or any gaming?

Video editing has nothing to do with the size of the cards Vram.

Why dont you learn about what your talking about?

CUDA makes use of the stream processors in the core nothing else.
