Few Notes:
Yes, I need the 3770k for video rendering.
I might wait for gtx 770, not sure yet. Would it be worth the wait?
I dont need keyboard, mouse, or OS.
Also, the 3770k wont be bought at microcenter so the build total is $80 more than it shows on here.
Any revisions or is that the best i can get for $1500?
