All prices are after taxes and/or shipping. Got some good deals at a local Microcenter, and found some newegg/amazon sales, to add to the used 280x i found on craigslist.

intel i7 4770K ($301):
ASUS Z87 Pro ($167 after rebate):
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB ($81):
Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO ($32):
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD ($196):
XFX Double D 280X ($345 used):
Arctic MX-4 thermal compound ($7):
ASUS Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE($47):

To add to my current:
Case: Coolermaster HAF 922 case with stock fans
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750X 750W
Dell Ultrasharp 3007 WFP-HC 2560x1600 monitor
Win 7 Ultimate

Sold my old 5870 for $130, sold my old CPU/mobo/cooler/ram/ssd for $175, had $125 to fry's electronics that the craigslist guy took in trade for part of the 280x payment

301+167+81+32+196+345+7+47 = $1176
-(130+175+125) = -$430
= $746 out of pocketc

Too late! I'm going to try listing it to sell it, but I'm not going to lost sleep over what you said. How can you tell which are top manufacturers for these cards? is there a list somewhere?
