Firstly, don't get the k version of the CPU unless you are going to overclock. Again with the fan, drop it one notch unless you are going to overclock. I strongly suggest that you don't. For the ssd, get a sata 3 one, I'd recommend the Kingston hyperx. For the psu, I'd recommend getting a 1050w one so that you can add another 580 later in sli. Next, sound card, you probably don't need one but are you going to be using speakers or headsets and will they be digital or analogue? Finally, the wifi card, I'd recommend that you get homeplugs over that card. Overall a very solid spec, enjoy it!

thats a beast mate,

1.get the 3gb 580, will be better if you ever go for three monitor nvidia surround setup.
2.drop the sound card unless, the onboard sound is just as good. unless you need the connections from the sound card.

other than that ace!

 

[Music Guy123]

Get the 3gb if you are ever going to use multiple monitors. If not, then don't bother. As before, don't bother getting the sound card unless you have external speakers or maybe a headset. What do you have?

Going to get the Logitech Z323 2.1 speakers.

 

[Music Guy123]

As far as I can see that is an analogue system so if you want to get a card, get the asus card. However, onboard will still be very good. (I think that is right!)
