[Solved] My build

This is my first new build in close to 20 years, things sure have changed allot! This is more geared towards CAD/CAM work, but will be used for everything, maybe even games. I am down to the graphics card for the final piece, was hoping the price would come down on the ASUS Matrix GTX580, and had considered the MSI GTX580. What do you think?

Corsair 600T case
Corsair TX850 PSU
Corsair Force GT 120 GB SSD
Corsair H100 Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair XMS Triple Channel Memory, 24 GB
ASUS Rampage III Formula motherboard
Intel Core I7-960 Processor, 3.20 Ghz
Western Digital 1TB HDD, Caviar black
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
ASUS 24X DVD burner
Sony Blue Ray writer
AFT Media reader
Logitec Z623 speakers
Logitec MK550 keyboard and mouse
Windows 7 Utimate
LG IPS236 monitor

I did change the 240mm fan in the top of the case to two Antec Tricool 120mm fans mounted above the radiator. Was thinking about mounting two more in the side panel to pressurize the case?

Lol, You Could also get The Keyboard and Mouse and Speakers from Corsair xD that woud be so cool. Why are u getting a 1366 cpu. The only way u are gonna get a asus matrix wil be in ebay, those cards dissapeared in the market xD they are limited edition. good choice on the fans xD i dont think it will be necesarry to mount 2 more , btw get ready to have a little turbulance in ur case, those fans without the proper Fan controller will run at max rpm.

You already bought everything except the video cards?

Random comments...
1) I think you might be giving Corsair too much credit, they lead the way in failure rates in almost everything they make. Crucial is a much more solid choice for the things it makes and XFX for the stuff it makes.
2) I can't imagine how you will use up 24 GBs of RAM outside of a server environment.
3) Asus 24x DVD - Good choice
4) PSU sounds way too large for what you intend to be doing even at the max load if you have a 580 it will probably be barely half that. You could have easily went with an XFX 650w instead.
5) Between the two 580s it doesn't really make a big difference.
6) A single 240 mm fan pushes way more air than 2x 120mm fans do. The whole Pi * R^2 thing from back in Algebra class in 6th grade. I would have left the 240mm in.
7) You want more fans pushing out than the number of fans pushing in, preferably. Negative pressure is usually more advisable than positive pressure.

I left the 240 mm fan in the front of the case, but had to change the one in the top for lack of room. I mounted the radiator in the top, and the fans are actually under the grill above the radiator, it's packed in there.

Is EVGA a good reliable product, I've never had anything of theirs before?

Which one of the EVGA 580 cards is the best in the newegg link you posted, and why?

I haven't owned a GTX 580, so it would be unfair of me to judge. I would sort by 'best rating' and read the reviews. Do some review checking online. My personal opinion (just an opinion) is one of the Super Clocked EVGA GTX 580s. If you tend to OC, the SC versions should have more headroom.

Thanks! How do you like the Force GT SSD?

What I meant to say was not that there is nothing worth anything in their product line.

What I meant to say is that if you use so many Corsair products, you are increasing your risk of parts failure substantially.

Most people who review things don't have the tools to review the thing they are reviewing properly.

RMA rates are hard to fake, though. Retailers don't get this crazy idea that they should report incorrectly based on the manufacturer letting them market their RAM. Reviewers often have such ideas that because they are given something to review for free they should automatically give it a good review.

Your Corsair XMS RAM line clearly appears on the most RMAd list many times as I have shown.

If you don't care about the huge numbers of people returning their RAM because it doesn't work right a very large percentage of the time, oh well have fun.

Not like I am not trying to minimize your risk of parts failure or anything.

Thanks for the help, I may go with the EVGA 3 GB card, I did plan to add a second monitor.

Edit..After looking into the 3 GB versions, the Ultra cards require two 8 pin and one 6 pin power connectors each, so I would only be able to run one card with my PSU. I think the OC version would fit my build better, then I could add a second card later if I wanted. Also, the tests showed that the 3 GB versions didn't seem to make much difference except a couple of games at max resolution.

You were one of the lucky ones. Is that supposed to prove anything?

Anecdotal evidence doesn't beat empirical evidence, unless you are in politics.

I bash a lot of things, particularly the ones that don't work right or fail often, like Corsair products.

If you cared to help people accomplish those things, you would also bash Corsair.

Since you obviously don't care about having a computer that works right, I will indeed give it a rest.

That is 19 amp input, most wall outlets are 15 amp, there are 20 amp outlets though. So it's getting to the point you need to rewire the house to run a PC?

I ordered the EVGA GTX 580 SC from Amazon, they have a $30 rebate until Friday, got it for $461 including shipping after the rebate. I can fire this bad boy up when it gets here!

You must be special, your 650 works better than all the 850's.

I'm guessing that 1250 draws 19 amps at full load, otherwise they wouldn't have rated it that way. And with some people having three graphics cards in their system, that can easily go over 700 watts by itself.
