BUMP

I'm looking to purchase an SSD with at least 256GB and SATA3. Let me know if you have one laying around. Thanks!

Looking to purchase a Macbook 13" Retina with hopefully 16GB of ram. Willing to be open to 8GB however 16GB is preferred. Let me know what you have! Thanks!

BUMP

I'm looking to sell the following system.. as a whole unit for now: CPU- Intel i5 3570K (@4.1GHz on Stock Voltage) GPU- eVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB (02G-P4-2678-KR) HD- Samsung 830 Series 256GB SSD (Max OSX Mountain Lion) HD2- Old Western Digital 250GB HD (Windows 7) Motherboard- Gigabyte...

Picked one of these up for my new build. Was lucky to snag one through this Newegg deal. Nice find OP!

I ended up removing the Corsair H80 and adding the Noctua DH-D14 as I heard it's a better cooler. And NewEgg has a deal where the HX750 is $114.99 after rebate which is $5 more than the HX650 at $109.99 after rebate, so I ended up swapping the HX650 out for the HX750.

Great. Thanks Danny. BTW, the monitors and the SSD came in today. I'm pretty excited to build this rig! :D

I'm going to switch to 3770K out for the 3570K and I'm going to bump up the GTX660Ti to a GTX670 (thanks for the tip, slh28). As for the CPU cooler, I've decided to go with the Corsairs H80. Would've gone with the H100 but I heard it doesn't fit in the Fractal R4. Will my Corsair HX650 PSU be...

I'm considering swapping out the 660 Ti w/ a 670 2GB. It's about $30 more. My question is.. is the 4GB model worth a $160 jump? ($334.99 vs $459.99) And also for the price of the CPU cooler, Noctua NH-D14, do you think it's worth the money or should I look into a cheap watercooling alternative...

Not really going to be doing much CPU intensive stuff.. but you're right. I'm definitely going to be doing some gaming, I'll think about going with the i5 3570K and returning the 3770K.

Yeah I could return the parts. I figure I get some input before I actually start opening the packages and ordering the rest of the build.

I'm guessing it's useless to buy the extra compound? I figured the Noctua compound can keep it cooler. Or is it the same compound as the one on the cooler?

I purchased the monitor, CPU, video card, hard-drive and motherboard already btw. As for storage I already have a 3TB Western Digital external.
