    Nice specs but why not upgrade to an Ivybridge processor? I have the 3570K and it is a BEAST. Lucky you can afford a 670, I got an AMD Radeon HD 7850 :P

    I was looking through a lot of reviews and they said the 2550 was almost identical to that one. As for the graphics card not sure if I can if anyone was of one that is fairly similar but is cheaper let me know is your card good for games

    Yeah, its good bang for your buck. Think of it as the 560Ti only its an AMD card. Runs just fine on a 1080p monitor

    Pretty sure it comes with one 200mm and one 120mm. Windows 7 doesn't cost near to €300. That gtx670 is a reference model meaning its loud as hell. Believe me I've got one.

    Do you think a gtx 560 would be good enough for gaming and some programming

    Ye but its the last generation of GPU's. It'll run most games on medium with okish fps I imagine. What kind of programming? Pretty sure thats more cpu intensive.

    im no expert but that does not seem good value at all, you want either i5 2500k or i5 3570k if for gaming, 8GB ram is enough for gaming preferably 1600 MHz, that graphics card only has 1 fan i think so would generally not be recommended, Z77 motherboards are out now

    I would go for gt660 and a an i7 due to higher L1,L2,L3 cache.

    As with your other thread and this one you havn't stated what the computer will be used for. That dictates what parts to use a lot..like you said earlier you wanted 16gb of ram for game development. Then you might benifit from an i7 using hyper threading for rendering ect.. (I'm not fully aware of the game development process just saying)
    Also what kind of budget do you have for it..
