Alright, I believe I finally have everything I want for a gaming build. I'll be using it as mostly gaming, but also a multimedia center of sorts as it'll be in a living room running on a 42" HDTV running at 1920x1080. My budget is $1300 or less, and I still need a wireless adapter (apartment doesn't have wired connections) and a mouse and keyboard that will operate smoothly at least 10 feet from the tower. Anyway, here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2GVIV

Anything I should change, get rid of, alter, anything like that? I'll be adding a disk drive I already have for primary storage, but the SSD will be for the OS and some high profile games and such. Only real question I have is with HDCP. Should I be worried about HDCP with the TV? Or am I in good shape?

Also, suggestions on the wireless adapter, mouse, and keyboard?
 
looks good. Since you don't need an HDD, consider a 256 GB SSD (around $170_

you need a PSU and a case. Cases are pretty subjective, so get whatever looks good to you. I like staying under $50, but your mileage may vary


PSU: you shoudl be fine with a 550-600W 80+ Bronze PSU from Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, or XFX

I should note that pricing is something I'll be investigating to find the best values, so ignore what partpicker says about that. That'll be the hard part, haha.

Some food for thought: a small form factor gaming computer since its to be beside your TV

Hey camohanna, thanks for the suggestion! Even though I'm using it in my living room, I enjoy experimenting and being able to adjust hardware, so I decided to go with a mid tower and stick with the usual size. I live on my own and the apartment is small, so the only person I ever entertain comes here to hop on LAN and play games, haha. So having a larger unit is exactly what I want :) But I do appreciate the build!
