Hello all, I finally have all my research done and found all the sales I could to get a budget gaming pc under $1000 that is still quite powerful. This is my first time ever building a pc. Here is what I have in my NewEgg shopping cart:
XION XION Gaming Series XON-985-BK Black with BLUE LED Light Steel/ Plastic, Meshed Front Panel design. ATX Mid Tower Computer ...
$70 and $20 MIB

$60
ASRock Z77 Extreme3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Window 7 Home Premium and Intel i5-3570k Ivy Combo
$315
NZXT Led Sleeve and Antistatic Wrist Wrap
$19
(Since it's Radeon, it includes Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider)
I really want to know whether to get the GTX 660 ti or Radeon 7950. I would play either of the set of games that comes from each card.
I would appreciate any feedback, like advice or suggestions to change any of the components. In the future I may want to set up a crossfirex system, adding more fans, overclock the CPU.
Thank you.
I will be ordering in the next couple of days.
