    Unfortunately the only one clueless is you since you fail to realize Nab's first build was US links so yes the budget could fit a better GPU which was really the only real performance difference. My suggested build will have absolutely no problem running OP's games and the 7870 will have zero issues keeping up on 1080p. So if you don't have anything constructive to add to this thread and your only purpose is to confuse OP then please just refrain from replying.

    Don't you think Nab's build is just better than yours?

    OCZ power supplies are bad compared to antec's.

    because asus cards are saggy? (seen some clear examples of that in post gaming setup thread)
    bends of the original pcb isn't unheard of either with those cards.

    Imo, I think the SSD's aren't overrated, In fact, I believe them to be the best bang for your buck in terms of performance of all options available to you.

    I'd put a 60gb drive in there for a boot drive and maybe for WoW. Let your HDD be for storage.

    Yes it's called card sag and it's not just limited to 1 brand (Asus) besides wasn't this about motherboards

    The pcb on the Asus p8z68-v or p8z77-v the pcb is really weak and you pretty much can feel it. They can be easily bown..

    My build suggestion already have both an SSD and HDD.

    Never said yours didn't :P My post was with reference to Jalfrezi saying they were overrated Should have been more clear with quotations!

    How weak can it really be? I've been running a P8Z68-V since February with no issues.

    That was not aimed at you, I'm sorry.

    I tried to use my motherboard lately as a skateboard but it didn't end properly I lost a pci express slot and no more SLI for me :<

    Well if you're unhandy like me and if your motherboard is stuck to your case and you would pull it hard it might break :P

    Besides the pcb they use for their graphics cards are really solid

    I spent 1100 on my build and I can run Skyrim on Ultra High detail. And 1100 is even high for what I got, so you should be able to get something a bit more powerful for 1500.

    Parts are now rolling in, quick question though. Do the CPU coolers come with thermal paste? Or should I buy some? If so where from? Thanks !

    CPU coolers usually come with a layer of paste pre-applied. Never hurts to pick up your own, though. They're usually about $5-10 per bottle/tube.

    Edit: Looks like the one Notarget selected comes with a bottle. See the last picture in the product images. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...016&Tpk=NH-U9B

    And would the paste supplied be a good quality? I've read that some aftermarket ones are really bad quality.

    Anything that is already stuck to an AMD or Intel CPU Heatsink is usually excellent quality. You will notice minimal differences by changing it.

    Its by design.

    Anything rigid is more likely to break or get damaged if dropped etc as it doesn't have the flex to absorb the impact. A slightly softer board still has the strength you need to put the components in and out but has the extra benefit of being able to take any kind of major vibration or sudden drop.

    There's a reason F1 cars fuel tanks are made out of rubber!

    I'm not using the supplied heatsink, it's an extra bought one.

    Could you link which one you bought buddy? I couldn't, with any certainty, figure out which one you bought as multiple builds were linked . Better safe than sorry.

    Any high market cooler (as well as the Intel/AMD coolers) come with pre-applied thermal compound which is high quality stuff as I said in my above post. If you have one that comes with it, you do not need to buy anything extra, just put your CPU in - clamp it on and never remove it.

    If you remove your heatsink from the CPU at any time after its been heated, you will have to remove and reapply new thermal compound.
