Slight update (different RAM that's on the ASUS QVL for this board).

I like it. You could get a better video card or SLI 2 of them.

Have you thought about getting a 4k and/or 120hz monitor?

If it was me, I'd just buy a dell for 500. But I'm a special snowflake.

I already have a 144hz ASUS monitor.

And you won't let us forget it!

My Pc is coming up on two years old, so thinking it's time to upgrade my gphx cards as they are just GTX 560ti's

I have nothing to say to an Intel lover.   



Seriously, 16gb is overkill, unless you run a virtual machine.  Windows 7/8 won't use that much for games.
I have 12gb on my machine, and it changes nothing from 8gb.

I'm not too sure about your choice of fan either.  It looks like a standard fan that gets broken after 1 year.  Might want to spend 20$ more to get something better.  Zalman has interesting models.

It's coming Viper. This year, we're getting 4 and 6gb ram min. In 5 years we'll have 8gb ram mins with 16+ recommended.

That fan always seems to have stellar reviews on NewEgg and from other places I look at.

Oh, and I have an AMD build right now... and I'm tired of always having issues with games because of it.

Didn't you just build that thing too?

I'm still rocking my '08 Mac Pro.  I'd like to get a new computer, but this one hasn't given me any reason to do so.

built it in early 2010.

Well, it will have to wait for the next-next generation of consoles I guess. These things stalled development on good games, sad as it is.
