    If you are going for that much for the video card, spend some more and get the 5970
    :P

    Pyong is correct. May as well get DX11 with that money (aren't similar DX11 cards cheaper even?).

    Yes the 5870 gets similar performance I believe and is cheaper.

    Since you were about to dro[ $500+ on a GTX295, why not just go all out in the first place and get the HD5970?

    Because that puts me WAY over budget.

    I'd also like to point out that the memory you have selected is dual channel...that is not exactly taking advantage of the i7's abilities.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150456 +25 core clock for the same price, double plus that manufacturer's lifetime warranty. Unless you can't wait for it to come back in stock, you should get the sapphire 5870.

    As for Triple Channel RAM,...
    this is recommended: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226117
    or if money's tight, this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820104122

    A little extensive, but you're saving a hundred dollars off that 295 in your original post, would you have enough for that?

    Also, I don't know what you're thinking of gaining with the VelociRaptor, but they hardly show enough gain in performance with their price/capacity ratio.

    edit: Your motherboard shows RAM speed support as follows:

    DDR3 2000(O.C.)*/1866(O.C.)*/1800(O.C.)*/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066

    I might fail to understand here...
    Doesn't that mean it supports RAM up to 1333MHz and you have to overclock the rest yourself to reach desired speeds??
