"Why don't you tell us this?"

That thief in the hat actually came in to steal some computer shit - and knows jack about computers, this is why he keeps passing the ball back to the other guy, "why don't you tell me about this?" - cuz he's only a small time thief.

@Gurt11pc thx The only reason that i go with 16gb is that its so cheap itle like 100 us dollar for 16gb 1600 vengance ram

@valteri0007 2x 6870's are going to give you far better bang for the buck. 16gb is absolutely useless for gaming. You don't even use a full 4gb. 1333mhz is also far enough. Make sure you get w7 64bit! You don't need 850watts. 650w from a GOOD psu will do. (e.g.: AX650) Get another psu-cooler. A good aircooler will outperform the h2o 620 and do it quieter. Change SSD to a more reliable one (marvell controller: e.g. Crucial m4 / Intel 520 / Samsung 830)
