your motherboard is good but you can get some for cheaper that can be better Gigabyte is a great motherboard company. i suggest buying all of your stuff from newegg.com this is an amazing site for buying computer parts.

Probably advisable to invest in a separate heat sensor /controller and a few cheap fans, but otherwise that looks like a sick setup.

It’s a very good rig. You wouldn’t have any trouble with frame rate on any game.

I saw the price first and I was a bit puzzled, but I looked at the parts and you included accessories.

As for suggestions, just like the others said, maybe some fans will be essential to you, also, take Jimmy Jump’s suggestion of getting the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560ti 448-core, as the performance is similar, but cheaper.

If this is strictly a gaming rig, then you’re fine with an i5-2500k, if you plan on doing other tasks such as rendering, or other heavy-threaded tasks, then the i7-2600k is better.

If you do plan on getting a different card, go with EVGA, ASUS, Zotac, etc.

As for the rig right now as a gaming PC:
8.8/10

Nice rig. Although I would swap the Galaxy video card for a more reliable brand like Asus, MSI or eVGA.

Or get a GTX560ti 448 core. It’s a GTX570 minus one shader processor cluster. Has the same performance as a GTX570 but is cheaper:

I would opt for i7 2600 for a bit more..and a liquid cool fan like Antec Kuhler H2O 620 or corsairs for 50-60 bucks. I think you can do better on your SSD price wise, for that price you can get a 120gb last time i checked unless prices are up still. 8gb corsair rams could be bought for about 50 bucks too PS3 1600 last time i checked.

You should check out http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ You can really find the best bang for your buck using that..and more importantly find out what cost more isnt necessarily better.

i know this is a troll question…..but I HAVE to point out the FAILURE of your logic …..

#1 what is a 50mm sniper rifle??…50mm equals to 2inches…….

# 2….if what u meant was a .50bmg rifle (since sniper is the person shooting NOT the firearm)….then honestly how much can u bench press?? since the steel and kevlar to make it bullet resistant (since no such thing as bullet proof) would be literally 12+ inches thick……..on ALL sides of this "briefcase" …..so ur talking about a 2.5foot x4 foot steel BOX….so it would weigh at least 400 lbs…….

#3 not to mention that all the extras u need would NOT work through the steel….meaning that the camera/voice recorder would NOT be able to transmit through the casing……and when case was opened would take time to connect….time in which whomever could EASILY destroy /disable said camera and voice recorder……since would have to be blatantly obvious when case was opened since space to "hide" them would be severely limited….

Even "blast proof" steel can be cut with a linear shaped charge. Example:A LAWS rockert can make a 3/4" hole thru 3/4" steel. Enough to get inside a tank and bounce around and set fire to its ammo..

Nice troll…some imagination, unlike a lot of them.
