I'm looking at building a pc to play the Total War series games like Napoleon, Shogun 2, and Rome 2. My current pc can play on very high settings but I would like to pretty much max out all the settings for the best graphics at 1920x1080. Looking for suggestions on these parts that I found on Newegg and recommendations if anything needs to change.

Basically most curious about the CPU (i5-3570k) and the GPU (EVGA GTX 670 2GB). With the case & a copy of windows 7 it comes to $935. I am open to changes that would stay in the $900-$1000 range if there is a better setup. Thinking I would like to stick with Newegg also. Thanks for the help.

Right so there you go. You can even get a new chassis and have to running builds with your 1000$ budget. AND add a CPU cooler to OC. Also you can go the newer haswel which is a little faster but costs a little more and does not really overclock as well.

You would be much better off choosing your own components. Like a GTX760 which is much cheaper than the GTX670 and is just as fast.
What is your current setup? Full specs?
Are you willing to re-use components? Since I see you have no chassis chosen.

I currently have a Del Inspiron with a Phenom II X4 965 with a Radeon 5770. I thought about reusing parts off my current system but decided I would just start from scratch, mostly because the stock psu is only like 400w. The case I was looking at using is this: http:// If I pick my own parts I am willing to take out my upgraded 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM and put the stock RAM back in my current rig.

If I were to jump up to the 4670k what type of motherboard would you recommend?
