What do you think about this build?

[Wiltrold]

Hi there

This is my plans on a new rig:

Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Black
Western Digital Caviar® Black 500GB
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 700W PSU
Core i5 I5-2500K
ASUS P8P67 Pro
4GB G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX - 1 GHz
Sony Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-5260S

What do you think? Any upgrades for the SAME price? Should I add a CPU cooler, or is the standard enough?
What about the mobo, is the model (asus) okay, or should i look for a gigabyte or another one?

Thanks!

A CPU cooler might be needed, and also, avoid ASUS, I don't trust their wares ^^

Nothing wrong with asus products. There motherboards are excellent.

The top build is the better one and more money because of it being sandy bridge 1155 chipset. They run cooler and have great potential of overclocking.

Defo worth getting sandy bridge.

CPU cooler is not worth getting unless you plan to overclock. The new sandy bridge processors with stock fans run very cool.

HDD i choose the samsung f3 range. I hear fastest 7200rpm hdd out there.

You need an X58 mobo with a dual core proc and tripple channel ram.
Or wait for LGA 2011 that'll come out in Q4.
Sandy bridge is not gaming oriented atm.
Oh, and use a GTX480 over GTX560.

Stay well away from AMD (what a joke) and ATI (load of crap)

ATI is part of AMD nowadays, as in ATI doesn't even exist anymore. And only an idiot would get X58 rig now. Sandy Bridge wipes floor with it. Rofl, 480 over 560? Fuck 480. Get 570 or 580 if 560 is not enough, but stay away the steaming pile of crap that is 480.

Sandy Bridge is just as gaming oriented as anything else atm. What are you on for christ sake? Why would SB be any less gaming oriented?

Oh, and there's nothing really wrong with AMD, dunno why clueless children want to go around bashing them.

Okay guys, thanks for the advices One last question.. I have to decide with modl of the GTX 560 TI I choose... I've done some research and I've come up with these models to be the best:

Asus GTX560 Ti DirectCU II TOP - 900 MHz
Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC - 1 GHz
MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC - 880 MHz
EVGA GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX CUDA - 850 MHz
