If you aren't overclocking then why are you getting a Z series chipset?

2600 only 30% more than 2500? make that 50% from what I have seen.

personally if the motherboard name has ultra or extreme or some sequence of letters that make it feel like it's extreme (such as z) i prefer to get that one instead

Avoid the P67s and Z68s if you aren't overclocking.

every1 here got a point, if u not overclocking get one of the other series. H series? no need for P or Z.

if you aren't overclocking shouldn't the stock intel cooler be fine?

Better get 1.5V RAM

Also the HD 6970 offers better bang for the buck and it's powerful enough to run any game.

What is the point of such a crappy air cooler? If he is not going to be overclocking, then stock cooler is fine. If he is going to be overclocking, that cooler you linked is sub-par. It's also not cheap!

I also agree that GTX580 is too much $. I'd rather get a GTX570 and overclock it.

lower noise

I would recommend the Big Shuriken because the fan is rated at 1600rpm max. You should be aware that you're gonna have a hard time installing it: the push-pins are almost unreachable. Also make sure that it is going to fit in your case: the heat-sink is designed to sit very close to the motherboard, covering the ram modules.

Silence, that's what you pay for.
