SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (case, GPU, keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, optical drive)

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: No preference, I also live near a Microcenter if that helps.

PARTS PREFERENCES: N/A

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes (in the future, but not now)
