take a look tell me what you guys think im 50/50 between Intel and AMD but this looks nice what you guys think.

Pretty much everything looks spot on. The cooler though is not the best.

If you want the best performing air cooler for the same money get the TRUE and add a noctua nf-p12 fan to it.

coool will do im not 100% on the GPU but i hear is very good

The GPU is very good - the fastest single card available. However, I think you will find that 2 4890s in crossfire will be significantly faster in games and cost quite a bit less.

The only downside is that you are using 2 full size cards instead of 1 (more power draw and space used). With that motherboard you can always add a third card in the future (3 in crossfire does not scale too well tho).

Ive just bought a very similar system but with 2 4890s, and the nec 24" screen. Very nice rig, just trying to work out how it cost me about 400 quid more than yours...dang

+1 on the 2 4890s it just better value for money. Keep in mind they new cards arnt that far away.

The new cards are never very far away... if everyone put off their build when there were new components in the pipeline we'd never buy anything.

And it's speeding up too. Soon tech will be outdated in the same week, or day.
