SC2 on the other hand would be no problem.

thanks guys ill look into those. im a bit worried about my motherboard. is it suitable for my build? i couldnt find out if my graphics card will fit in it. also, how does someone know if their PSU cables will be long enough in their case? im getting a full tower and am afraid my cables might not reach? Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813157293GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130593any opinions, or constructive criticism is welcome. thanks!

If it's a full sized case, you shouldn't have any problems with your video card, as for your motherboard, you shouldn't have any problems either. Quote: Features: 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 Slots What power supply do you have, or are getting?

Just curious, if you're going the i5 route and not even getting the K-series(not planning to OC), why not go with an Xeon E3 and get the performance of an I7 without the IGP?

The only game that I own that really uses PhysX is Borderlands 2, but I can just enable it from a settings file anyways  @Fiction I've never even heard of that CPU before you mentioned it, but I checked out the specs, and I don't know why anybody would chose an i5/i7 over that if they're already buying a separate GPU, but all the reviews say that actually only has 80%~ of the i7's power.

Shouldn't even be looking at an i7 unless you plan on doing heavy 3D rendering and such.

Yeah, the Xeons are for workstations, so they're meant to run 24/7 opposed to casual use. They're not exactly as powerful as the i7s, but I'd say closer to 90% of the power.
I wouldn't substitute for an unlocked i7, but I'd definitely go with a Xeon if I were on a budget and didn't care to overclock. That's why I mentioned it, seeing as you got a locked i5.

Well there's that bit of info for others that aren't OCing anyways. For gaming OCing is better anyways, hyper-threading is only usefully in certain applications. TL;DR, It's all good brah!

I got the 3570K, gonna do a light oc to 4ghz I have that processor, it's great. At stock it runs at 4.1 under load, you can easily bump it up to 4.3 without changing the voltage. I did some light OC to 4.5 and only bumped up the voltage a little bit. This i5's a beast.

Cool pics yo
I have a friend with the same mouse and I never saw the appeal. Does it feel like a regular mouse in your hand? Also seeing your tidy desk has just made me clean my own desk =\
