    Going to overclock the cpu to 4.5GHz and the gpu to 920MHz
    Going to use this computer for basic school stuff and gaming. Mostly sw:tor and anything else I find interesting.

    Do all parts work?
    How long will this computer last me if I need a medium graphics quality in games in the future and high right now?
    Is any part to much or to little for the system?
    Am I going to get a good deal?
    Should I wait for Cyber Monday sales?
    Any good free multimedia player software out there?

    Very well put together. Wouldn't change a thing except the case, but that's just personal taste :P
    Will last a long time... and you have the option of putting a 2nd 560ti in sli later on if you want, which is nice.
    Will run just about anything on high settings right now... bf3 will be playable on high but not ultra if you're interested in that.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.

    Check this thread for cases, but I think Carbide 500R is pretty decent.

    Would perhaps suggest getting the LP version of the Vengeance as the Hyper 212 is a big cooler ;D

    I am thinking about pretty much exactly the same parts except getting a second 560ti (asus DCU II version), will the HX-650 be enough to power two 560ti's and the overclocked CPU?

    Maybe, I am trying to find the chart for GPU power consumption. I'm going for an overclocked i5 and 2x 560ti's aswell but I have a 850w for safety, it's a bit overkill.

    Here we go http://www.geeks3d.com/forums/index....ic,1946.0.html

    It doesn't have 2x 560's but it has 2 570s with max power consumption at 364W, so you should be ok

    Yes. It should.

    I just built a very similar computer this past Wednesday (2 days ago). Same case, same motherboard, same ram, I went with the 2600K cpu and an OC Evga gpu.

    The case is great. Although I had to buy an extension for my atx 8-pin connector as my psu wire wasn't long enough to run cleanly without going over-top the motherboard. If you plan on putting an additional fan on the bottom for intake you'll need to buy some mounts, the holes are too big for basic sfan screws and too small to relocate the rubber plugs the case uses in other places.

    Did u have any problems with the ram and the cpu cooler fitting?
