Hi Everyone

Just seeing if you can look over my comp idea and give me some insight on any changes you would make. I was aiming for $1500, but did increase my budget to around $2000. I play the odd game, mainly Starcraft, Guildwars, etc. I stream Halo from my Xbox to my pc often as well. I'm a regular internet user, and may or may not decide on OCing but I would like the option for the future. Any critiques to this system please let me know.....

If I may ask, why did you suggest the Gigabyte Mobo over the Asus one? Is there anything in particular I should know about either?

That Asus board has a lot of features that most peeps will never use.
