Monitor Resolution: 1440x900

Overclocking: Yes

Preferred parts: Intel i7-3770k or AMD FX-8350, NVIDIA GTX 670, SSD boot drive, 1TB HDD for data

OS included?: Yes, Windows 7 Home Premium OEM

Thanks in advance for any insight!

^I did not include an SSD, but is still a great system

, the 7970 is more powerful than the 670 (And SLIGHTLY, like 5% more powerful than the 680), but still around the same price point. OHHH, you want to do video editing, *facepalm*

Don't believe me about the gaming thing? http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2012-vga-gpgpu/benchmarks,135.html

Great build with a good SSD, awesome CPU + GPU. Cool case too, with lots of LED lights. You can change it to a fratual one if you don't like a flashy case.

Oh, and don't even think about getting a GTX 670 XD. There's the much better 770 out
