I'm pretty sure the motherboard is this:

kesheth, there won't be a bottleneck as far as I'm concerned.

I'd pick the Asrock, but the GA-Z77-D3H is pretty decent.
I'd go for a WD Caviar Blue, cheaper and no need for speed because of the SSD.
Any chance you can bump up to a 120GB SSD?
When do you think the time will be when we measure in yottabytes?
I'd guess 2020 at the most.
And to think EDI had access to 7 zettabytes of 'content'...
Wait, you don't want to purchase them separately to assemble or you just don't want to pick them out?
PCCaseGear offer systems they have set up.

Or they can assemble your custom picked parts for you...
Hey there!
Please fill out this sticky.
This is assuming you want the ability to overclock:
CPU Cooler
CPU
Motherboard
Video Card
RAM
Power Supply
SSD
Hard Drive
Case
DVD Drive
Total: $1293.69 with discounts
Fair enough, Arctic Cooling MX-4 says toxic to aquatic life, may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. What gets me is that it says dispose of it as hazardous waste.
Googled ways, always comes up if how to get it off, I just want to know where to dispose it. Flushing it down the sink isn't a great idea as it would poison marine life, not sure if just throwing it the trash is a good idea... Open to any suggestions. Currently living in Australia/Victoria.
I think a 500W PSU should do, are you planning to CrossFire in the future?
Non CrossFire PSU: $59.99
Or this: $55.99 after mail in rebate
You should overclock that RAM as well :P
No driver notes?

I picked the motherboard and graphics for convenience so you can order all the parts from one store.
Also you didn't say anything thing about silence, you simply won't mind?
I think the Kiwis have 230-240 volts and a 3 pin power plug, so I think you could keep the power supply, just make...
Nice to see a fellow Melburnian here :P
i5 3570k *
If you wanted to dabble in overclocking, great for gaming and general use
Whoops, previous motherboard selection won't fit!
ASUS P8Z77-M*
GSkill RipJaws X PC-12800 8GB *
Decent price for 8GB, although you could go cheaper for the PC-10666...
The Antec 300 doesn't support that :P
There's no holes in the bottom for the PSU to draw air in, so he/she had have to make the PSU draw air from the case and exhaust it out the back.

Is it just me or is the PDF 301.24?
Update: Changed, now its 301.42. :D
I reckon going with the i5 2500k, ASRock Extreme6, Gigabyte 7870 would be great.
Don't get the Caviar Black if you're going to get a SSD, go with a Green instead.
If you're looking for silence, Antec and Fractal Design are some options to consider.
Yes it will work on quad cores, its referring to memory architecture not Core architecture. All Socket 1155 motherboards (the Z77 in your case) supports Dual channel so it's fine.
IMO, SLI or Crossfire on the single monitor isn't really worth it, a 7870 can handle most games on high or above by itself.
The i5 2500k is a better option, you don't need hyperthreading on the i7 for gaming really.
As for the SSDs, I recommend these...
3. SLI is Scalar Link Interface (correct me if I'm wrong) and it is used on NVidia cards to run together, providing up to two times the performance (on a two way SLI set-up)
Crossfire is the AMD/ATI version of SLI
eg, 7870s in Crossfire, 670s in three-way SLI
You don't really need SLI or...

As for finding out the card, go to Start menu and type in dxdiag and go to the display tab.
Edit: Alternatively you could download CPU-Z to look up more info about your system...
Checks out all fine, although you don't need the 1866 MHz RAM unless you're benching etc. Might as well grab a CoolerMaster Hyper Evo 212+ as its better than the crappy Intel stock cooler. Could you try to squeeze in a SSD?
Hey there,
Sorry in advance if I can't find good prices, I live in Australia so I don't really know the best deals overseas.
Motherboard: Haswell will most likely change sockets, so future-proofing isn't that ideal, but here's a commonly recommended one...
Hey there,
I'm not sure what you mean by a removable motherboard tray, but could this fit the rest of your criteria?

Well at the top it has 2x120mm fan mounts.. I'm pretty sure there's enough space at the top.
