Okay so I have been doing more hours of reading, and picking, and re-reading, and re-picking of parts for a computer I am going to build... It's almost there, but as most things go - the more I looked the more expensive it got. Please take a look at what I picked out and see if anything could be changed for cheaper with not too much performance decrease. I am looking to be able to play new games on Highest or CLOSE to highest settings (because I have never been able to before lmao). I have really only been looking at newegg, but if you know of a reputable source other than them - suggest it! Also good combos? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and nothing is set in stone! Thanks! If everything looks good, well then I won't eat until financial aid comes in... Lmao (college student).

Awesome thanks a ton! Same GPUs right? This is much more around the price I was hoping. Does this still have the potential to be great? (and some longevity) Thanks again. gkay09
