I thinking it will be somewhat out of date by the time 2014 rolls around.

I wouldn't use a 100i if they were free ... too damn noisy .... 128 times louder than the phanteks .... and the white phanteks looks rockin in that case.

Are you using res bigger than 1920 x 1200 ? If not, go 2GB on the GFX. And the MSI is the better card, with more speed and lower price.

Ya paying $287 for the case / PSU combo. The HX850 is cheaper and has better voltage stability and lower ripple. Better case, Better PSU for $57 less Corsair 500R White w/ HX850

Stockpile money. When you get to however much you want to spend, then pick out parts.
