I am super excited to officially say, I AM A PC GAMER. The goal of my build was simple, I wanted a computer capable of running games in great quality with the ability to manage a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/MikeTheCISGuy). I am extremely satisfied with every component I purchased, as well as the price I got it for. For those looking to get into PC Gaming, I highly recommend using TigerDirect (www.tigerdirect.com) & Newegg (www.newegg.com). Both are great sites for components and they have AMAZING deals. Now onto the components I chose for my rig...

Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-V LX Intel 7 Series

Processor - Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz LGA1155 CPU

Storage - WD Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s Int 3.5 HDD

RAM - Corsair High Perform Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz2x4

Graphics Card - EVGA 02G-P4-2660-KR GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Case - NZXT Phantom 410 Series CA-PH410-W1 Black/White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case.

PSU - Corsair GS600 Gaming 600W 80+ Bronze Power Supply

OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit edition.

Please feel free to share you thoughts and opinions on my build. Also, tell me about your rig! Thanks guys! (& girls)

Nice set up man, you will have a nice gaming rig.

If I had to say anything about this set up I would add to the table would be a SSD. I think it's more than just icing on the cake but a must have. You will be blown away by the speeds (powering on/off/download speeds,etc).

Regardless, this is a nice set up and congrats!
