    New gaming computer spec questions

    Hey Im building my first computer, was wondering if these parts were all compatible with each other, if there would be any bottle necking and if could run my current games at 5780x1080 with decent fps. Also planning on getting another 680 in the future for SLI.
    I mostly play World of Warcraft, but also play SC2, BF3 and crysis 2.

    1 x Intel Core i5 3570K Quad Core Processor Overclocked to 4GHZ
    1 x Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooling System LGA775/1155/1156/1366 AM2/AM3/AM3/FM1 + 2000RPM
    1 x ASUS P8Z77-V Lk ATX LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 SLI DVI HDMI DP USB3.0 Motherboard

    1) I would advice you not to use the fan that comes with the Kühler H2O 620. Either use a case-fan or a new one altogether. The one that accompanies the cooler is atrociously horrible
    2) The PSU is adequate at best, but 650w should be enough for SLI.
    3) Consider not getting an optical drive at all
    4) NZXT Phantom 410 is so-and-so; At least here, it's too expensive for the cooling and functions it has, imho.
    5) Running in 5780x1080 would make me suggest AMD-GPUs rather than nVidia ones. Take a look at the Gigabyte HD7970 GHz-edition.

    What cpu cooler would you recommend

    The Noctua D14 is generally regarded as the best non-water cooling heatsink.

    parts listed look allot like it comes from a pre-built site?
    also no ssd for such a build is kinda out of place for these days.
    any chance you could perhaps fill in the sticky so we could try to make a perhaps better list of parts for your needs?
