Ah hah, going with Intel finally?

Save your money on the Hydro H55--the WCs aren't much better than air cooling until you go with the dual 120mm rad ones (H100). You *may* see slightly better temps if you put two Noctua 12s on the H55, but that can't be guaranteed, and the fans will set you back another $50.

Why the GTX 560?

my other pc got stolen. need a replacement. AMD performance is not what is use to be. I am liking the feature of virtue.

Identical.

»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···14130825

I'd go with the EVGA simply out of brand loyalty and customer support.

EVGA dual fan.

will this work. I like dual fan cards quieter and cooler.

Why wouldn't it work?

It's an overclocked version with a fancy cooler.

I will take that as a yes.

I don't like reference coolers they are loud.

does the mother board look good. I like thunder bolt. when ever the devices get cheaper that is.

Dual fans are quieter?

They might run slightly cooler, but I don't know about being quieter.

The MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt is likely a great option. I’d be tempted, although I also like these following boards all of which have Thunderbolt support:

ASRock Z77 Extreme6/TB4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard $174.99

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP4 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with Dual Thunderbolt $184.99

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with Dual Thunderbolt $239.99

ASRock Z77 Extreme6/TB4 Motherboard Offers Thunderbolt with Discrete Graphics

The Asus Thunderbolt boards are decent too,…

2 fans, and bigger heatsink are always the best option. I thought you one of those guys that want to save money here and there.. So I link you the 1 fan one instead. =D

If you spend any more on the cooling.. you might be close to a GTX 660 Ti version »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···14125441

You should check out their promo thing:
»promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/ja···ing.html

ps: the promo has the socket 2011 for the heatsink fan.. that one wont work. =P.

But they do have promo code for windows 7 home, some ram, so check it out.

Did you buy the 1050w PSU for this build?

LOLOLOLOLOL.

the price difference between the HX1050 and the HX850 only
$40 difference between the 2. I spend the extra $40 and got the 1050 watt.

The 850 is overkill. For your build, you should have gone with the 600w.

PSUs are more inefficient at much lower loads. You will probably operate, day-to-day, putting only 10% load on that unit. You're going to waste a lot of power.

If you live near a Microcenter, the in store price for an I7 3770K is $329. I'd rather pay $20-$30 more for an I7 vs the I5. Otherwise it looks good to me.

not going to do me much good. There is no micro center here or anything like that here at all. buying online is only choice for pc parts.
