Trying to get together a new pc, only have built one a long time ago, and I miss gaming. Wondering if this will work for the next few years with gfx on high-ultra and for aces.

you might want to check your power requirements. Couldn't find your card on new egg but the 1460 variety used 450 watts minimum for the system (150 watt card). 2 cards would be 600. You have little margin with 650 watts
Infidel.

Aside from the power supply, that should work fine for AH/gaming Nimble. Does this mean your making a return? :x
Hope to see you up fella, been too long.......

Card link for new egg, so I may need to get a bigger power supply for two?

LoL yup, once I hit confirm on the order and put it together I'll be flying again, just want to make sure I get all the right stuff in one shot :)

I'd get a bigger power supply - 170w for 1 card - 650 overall might be a tad small (plus bigger gives you an upgrade path later if required)

Sounds awesome :) Got a 850w power supply silver rated or something now, so I guess it's time to order. Hopefully I'll be back up in the sky by friday! :)

wouldn't touch a rosewill power supply with a 50 ft pole, but that's just me.
you're going to want a minimum 750 watt, single +12v leg with at least 38 amps output, and 2 6pin connectors...or 4 spare 4 pin connectors to use with the adaptors.

Dude, this should play most other games on high, if not with all settings maxed out.
To test, start up world of tanks, and see how it runs that. My system that gets 30-40 fps in Aces High with mid-level settings will only get 5-6 FPS on World of Tanks with minumum settings.

PSU looks short, otherwise that machine should kick

Thanks for the replies all, everything is ordered with a big power supply, catch you in the skies this weekend, in shades for the first couple week haha :) :salute

Dude WoT is not graphics intensive...

Not really graphics intensive, but its terrible with a bad machine. If it runs OK on WoT, then it will at least run OK with AH.

If it can play Crysis/Crysis 2/Far Cry/Metro 2033/Battlefield 3 on max settings, I don't think you would have to worry about updating anything for a couple of years.

It is not just you.

I am surprised noone pointed out that your (2) PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots are not TRUE x16! one is X16 why the second PCIe x16 slot only operates at x4 .............. most times when one runs into this situation when they go to do SLI or Crossfire ( depending on NVIDIA OR ATI VC's ) both PCIe slots will downclock to the lower slot's speed........... in this instance both will run SLI @ x4
now, I am going on past research and experience and have not personally or thoroughly gone through and read up on this particular MB you have ordered
just thought I would give you a possible heads up..........
You might be better off using just the one PCIe2.0 x16 slot that is TRUE x16 capacity and forgoing the use of SLI and the 2nd slower PCIe slot......... unless the MB allows both slots to work at their maximum capacity.......
but you still will only be getting around 1/4's worth of performance of the 2nd video card if this be the case.....
best of luck to ya,

I run a single GTX 560 ti on my x-58 pro-e board. Graphics max I see 60 FPS which is the limit for my monitor anyway. Maybe I'll hook it to the 46" sony with 120hz to see if it goes faster.

Out of curiosity, why get two 560's? For that price you could almost get a single 580.
Also, if you can get your hands on a 2600K instead of the 2700K, you'd save a few bills for the same chip. The 2700K is simply a multiplier bump from the 2600K, which is silly considering both are unlocked and very overclockable...
Do you require a micro-ATX board?

I have the 2500k right now and it is OC at 4.5 and no problems. Also you definatly want to go with a full sized ATX board due to "bricking" your graphic cards.
Here is the current MB I have and i have had no problems with it.

And a larger power supply is needed for what you are putting into it.
This one is a little expensive but you have more than enough room to "upgrade" if needed.
