Instead of asking what you all think of the parts I picked, let me ask you what kind of system you would put together with a $4500 budget? :sol:

Don't hold back!

Yeah, a budget that high isn't going to do much more than a $2k machine, at least for gaming.

I'll make a crappy graph, comparing money to performance:
Cost: Performance:
$1k |----------------------|
$2k |-----------------------------|
$4k |--------------------------------|

Basically you can just buy more peripherals and maybe some nice water cooling for $4k.
 
My first thought was a $2000 desktop and a $2500 HTPC & peripherals bundle. But my guess is OP more into gaming.
Still waiting to for him to answer your question to find out his PC needs / wants.

Tato Nano? That sounded vaguely familiar but I was expecting a different "hi-tech" item.
