Giltyler - No microcenter, must not be in FL (or at least Orlando, Tampa, Naples area)

Axehead15 - Mainly gaming but not the newest and not worried about maxing out the settings, I'll probably replay some Skyrim, and whatever I have bought on Steam (damn you android app)

I think you have a solid build going what case will you use?
I am also partial to using a fully modular power supply for cable management.
If I was going to use AMD GPU this is the hot card right now http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11199-20-20G/dp/B00AWKYB1M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1368283608&sr=1-1&keywords=7870+xt
It is $20.00 more and has the better GPU core like 7950/7970 but slightly disabled.
If you think you will ever get a 2nd GPU get a bigger Power supply to start.
