I will be purchasing sometime around June-July.

My budget is $2000, including the OS.

The OS will be installed on an ssd, preferably 128gb.

The system will be used mostly for gaming, but i will also be rendering videos to put on youtube.

I do not need a monitor, I am running two atm.

I need Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, and this is to be included in the budget.

The website i will be using is PC Case Gear www.pccasegear.com as i am located in Sydney, Australia.

I would like to have an intel cpu, not sure which one is the best for my needs, and like to get an evga gtx 680

I will plan to overclock my cpu around 4.4-4.6 depending on the cooling that this case can provide.

My monitor's resolution is 1920x1080, and i am running two of them.

I am looking to build a small form factor pc, using the Bitfenix Prodigy, and i would like it alot if anyone could post suggestions or builds within my budget. Thanks.

for games only go for the 3570k!go for one gtx 690 4gb the gigabytes version is still the best choice!one 750w psu(very enough)
and i dont think you need 16gb for gaming in real 8gb is very enough but if you want to pay 2000$ go for 16gb!

I would personally go with a 7970 3Gb over a 680 4Gb, since the VRAM is more than enough for two monitors, and performance is very similar. Plus, the 7970 is a couple hundred dollars cheaper as well.
