About to order new rig, and haven't put together pc in 7 years, been on gaming laptops.
Can you double check if everything makes sense ?
This is mostly for gaming, never OC'ed before but I am willing to try it out with this rig.


Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W

CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850W ATX12V

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX

CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M4A1600C9

EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Asus VG236H 23" Full HD 120Hz 3D multimedia Height & Swivel Adjustable WideScreen LCD Monitor w/nVidia 3D Vision Kit hard bundle

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Corsair Obsidian Series 550D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
 
okay, for gaming there is no need for 16 GB at all. 8GB will be more than enough.
You can save $20 by going to a 1TB seagate 7200RPM drive. won't be that much speed loss.

How do you plan to cool that 3570k?
 
Want to install stock cooler and see how it cools, I just haven't had time to read about coolers yet, too much work.

On the other hand I'm thinking Corsair H80, however I want this to be fairly quiet pc, so a lil scared about h80 making too much noise.
 
I would think that the H80 would only be as loud as the fans installed on it. It should be fairly quiet though.

Really a Hyper 212+ should be fine for your uses. The stock cooler I would not trust though.
 
Very good build, I agree with everything said here.

Are you planning on using two video cards ever? 850w is way overkill for just one card.
