    Just remember when you're ordering from HWVS, to make sure the OS you select says 'Version Englisch', else you're going to end up with a German OS^^

    That's quite a build...

    Do you need the two optical drives? I'ld imagine one blu-ray drive would be enough...

    If you're building a gaming rig, i'ld say go with the i5.
    i7 is better suited for media production and such things which make use of hyperthreading. It won't be any better for gaming than the i5. Also you don't need two gtx580s if you're gonna be doing video/photo/audio production work.

    Also you might wanna throw in the Noctua d14 cooler. Its the best aircooled cpu cooler and will be perfect for overclocking with the Asus mobo.

    well this build is mainly for gaming so the sli is good for future proof i know 1 is plenty but i dont want to change cards for atleast a year and a half and it works out cheaper for me to get two drives as opposed to one as from what i read this is a basic blu ray drive with some dvd writing features so it is only 56 euro as opposed to one that is 130 euro and the dvd r/w is 21 euro so its less than 100 for both drives and i might do video photo audio editing in the future so the i7 is there just in case. i will get a better cooler in the future im going to do a small overclock on the 2600k but i will eventually upgrade when i feel the need to and that is the cooler im interested in but hwvs dont install alot of aftermarket coolers so im not gonna add it just yet.
