    Don't know which motherboard is the best choice :(
    It's for playing Battlefield 3,4 and in the future more heavy games.

    Thanks in advance, Baros

    Seems to be a fine system although your power supply is probably pure overkill especially since you do don't use SLI. 1250W is just for overly exotic systems (like even more than 2 vidcards). You could also drop down in memory to 8 gigs because 12 is way beyond necessary atm. You could always upgrade later to 16GB by adding another 2 sticks of RAM. Considering memory prices drop down fast you might want to wait until you actually need it. Then again memory is dirt cheap anyway. The CPU is the best you can get right know and probabably will be until the next gen which probably requires a new socket so don't expect future upgrades there. My only doubt would be the size of the SSD. Remember that you still have to extract some GBs to get to it's real size and also take of the space Windows uses. If you want to have any benefit on games from it they have to be on that disc. Then again you can go with this one and opt for an upgrade later when SSD become a lot cheaper (and at the current rate I wouldn't be surprised to have 1TB drives at the current HDD pricetag within 2 years).
