im trying to build a good gaming PC for 2011 into 2012 on a budget..
I kinda blew my original budget of $750-$1000 because I was worried about my PC under performing. Total Price for these specs as of 6/22/11 at 2:20 AM is 1331.65 from Newegg.com (This is including tax and shipping)
* I will take any suggestions on how to cheapen this build without losing key performance, I will also take any other suggestions.
Here are my specs
