I plan on increase the timing to ensure stability. From 6-8-6-24 to 8-8-8-20 Lower Voltage Also Enzotech Extreme-X CPU Cooler so there's a down draft cooling the motherboard Components. Would love to have a Corsair Force F240 SSD drive but the Cost....(Maybe a Future Upgrade later.) WD 1TB drive for Storage/Backup..... Would Rather have a 7,200 Rpm SAS Drive but would require a SAS/SATA Controller Card also $$$$$ (Maybe a Future Upgrade later.) EVGA GeForce GTX 470 ...... Its a hot potato I know ....... but overall Nvidia write the best drivers! In short should = Stability I plan on underclocking it back down to stock speed to lower Temp. There should be extra cooling for the OC version. The sound card I'm still sorta not sure about.... Sony Optiarc CD/DVD Burner ( Has NEC Chip ) Logitech Keyboard and mouse ....... Hope they are good for Work as they are at Play!
Why do you need 4 Pci-express slots if you are running one card.And also why the 470? is it for cuda? I would go for the 5870 if cuda isnt needed or else the 460 if it is needed. Also i would go for The Titan Fernirr. Why Ultimate why not go for pro? Get what ever dvd drive is cheapest. Swap the PSU out for the Corsair HX850w
