alright guys so im working on building my pc right now, and im trying to build the best i can for gaming without completely destroying my bank account lol.
heres what i have so far:
--Modtek L33T Case Series - XP2S PC Case ($50)
--500GB samsung SSD ($369.99)
--Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Processor ($235)
--EVGA GeForce GTX690 4096MB GDDR5 512bit, Dual GPU, 2xDVI-I,DVI-D,mDisplayPort, Quad SLI Ready Graphics Card Graphics Card ($999.99)

still looking for a graphics card that may perform better for a cheaper price, or downgrade it just a bit for a lot less. also ide like some suggestions for a mobo if anyone has a good one :D  im looking for multi moniter support also, and looking into a water cooling system later on.

an HD 7990 is faster than a GTX 690 at the same price. It just released, so ur going to have to see what companies have a card released.

a High end ASUS or ASROCK will be a good mobo.

What is your budget, and what resolution will you be playing on? If this is for a single 1080p monitor, you could save a lot and see no loss of preformance.

The HD 7990 comes with 8 games though...so it's really more like $600-700 + games.

Manufacturers with HD 7990 cards that are out or will be out shortly:

AMD
Gigabyte
HIS
PowerColor

I would recommend AMD or HIS, the powercolor card is good, but it's power hungry relative to the others.
