Originally posted by bprat22 Hi christbell... You didn't mention monitor size or resolution, but the gtx 670 will max those games out on a 23/24" monitor at 1920x1080 resolution.   That build is real good, but I would recommend a couple of changes.   Drop the memory speed to 1600Mhz, the other you'll never see the diiference.   The 850Tx psu is very good, but the 750HX is still all you need and would give you a 7year warranty.  Either will work fine .   All I have heard is that the Killer 2100 card isn't worth it and can be more problems then it's worth.   The HafX case is the best as-is, so drop the Performance fans.  The HafX case has great air cooling, and are quiet do to being larger, 230mm and 2x 200mm , and moving slower.   The temp and fan control looks real nice for eye candy, but for function really isn't needed.  Why mess with the cases already great setup plus the temp readings aren't accurate.   The chassis mod to add fans to the side doesn't apply to this case, plus the HafX already has a 200mm fan mounted in the side panel.   Drop the H2O UV tubing.  It doesn't apply to the 240mm  Vortex which is a sealed unit.  This would apply if you had a stage 4 or above water cooling setup.   For tops in reliability, use the Noctua D14 air cooler instead of the 240mm Vortex.  Alot less to go wrong. I left in the 240mm rad because it does work very good and its track record is good.Your call as always.   Hope this helps and saves you some money.     Config # 694375       Cost $ 1993   Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Cooler Master 942 HAF XExterior Finish: - Standard Factory FinishTrim Accents: - Standard Factory FinishProcessor: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40 GHz (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) (Requires Z77 Motherboard)Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 (Intel Z77 Chipset) (Features Thermal Armor and Thermal Radar)System Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 750W Corsair HX (Dual SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No ThanksHard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (120GB Solid State (By: Corsair) (Model: Force GT Series CSSD-F120GBGT-BK) (SATA 6Gbps)Set 1 Raid Options: - No ThanksHard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No ThanksHard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No ThanksOptical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x)Optical Drive 2: - No ThanksInternet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2GB (Includes PhysX)Add-on Card: - No ThanksSound Card: Integrated Motherboard AudioExtreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex 240mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler (Extreme-Performance Edition)H20 Tube Color:- Not Applicable, I do not have a FrostChill or Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System Selected Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Red)Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No ThanksLaserMark: - No ThanksBoost Processor: Stage 1: Overclock CPU 4.0GHz to 4.4GHzBoost Video Card: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memoryBoost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition)Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD)Virus Protection: - No ThanksOffice: - No ThanksGame: - No ThanksDisplay: - No ThanksSurge Shield: - No ThanksSpeakers: - No ThanksKeyboard: - No ThanksMouse: - No ThanksExternal Storage: - No ThanksExclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Medium)Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully ProcessedWarranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty   Good Luck   Â
