yeah something like web address redirect of sorts. just in particular for this section only.
this will also reduce the amount of excess threads asking about stuff that is not for this section.

8.1k left.
Also hyper 212 is not needed. The SB stock coolers are excellent even for 4GHz OC'd speeds.

So that makes it 10k left.

BenQ G2220HD @7.3k

Thus 2.7k left.

I suggest get a better mid-tower like the Cooler Master Storm Scout @6.2k instead of the M59.

Then the total 80k is spent.

You can..........
SLI it later.
And add 2 more monitors later :cool:.

Similar performance Vs 560SLI but you more future proof as you can add another card later.

Is there an i7-2500k?? I think you made a typo there. :)
Will an 820W PSU power two 580's with a lot of headroom for other components?





@Bhav Check this.

Intel Core i5 2500k @ 11.5k
Asus P8P67 Pro @ 11.5k
G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL @ 2.5k
MSI N580GTX @ 27k
Seagate 1TB 7200.12 @ 2.7k
Corsair HX850W @ 9.6k
Cooler Master HAF 932 @ 8.5k
BenQ G2220HD @ 7.3k

Total --> 80.6k


Only 600 bucks more than budget.

I changed the 6 -> 5 but forgot the 7. :D
820W is enough.

And I will suggest getting a better monitor. And I will also recommend getting an SSD.
OP can make room for the SSD by going for the GTX570 @ 20k.
