If the rebates come in then this is a good start I for one have not see any rebates from newegg in over a year of buying anything its not neweggs fault but the people whom offer them but I still shop there but not for the so called rebate savings as for the most part its a scam that newegg cant control

Thanks! This looks pretty much perfect and i was looking at that CPU! Do you think you would be able to run BF4 on low settings at 1080p?

This also looks really good. The main differences between this and the other one is the nvidia GPU, the CPU and this one has 4gb of ram vs. the 8gb one.

Bigger screen and better CPU, all for the loss of 4GB of RAM, which if the Mobo I selected has 4 modules for RAM, can easily be upgraded when money is there. Also better GPU.

Ok. I was going to change the CPU anyways because I know thaw the Phenom II X4 965 was an amazing CPU and I really didn't care about the moniter size anyways. Thanks for that benchmark though! Wow does the 7770 get better FPS!
