New gaming build critique

[lvilleluke]

Hi, I am a new member looking for some suggestions on my new Gaming Rig. I am looking to run games like Bf3 pretty much all the way up. Also i hope for this rig to last me a solid 2-3 years without struggling.

I feel pretty good on what i have picked out so far. What do you guys think?

around 1100 after mail in rebates and shipping.

Also I want to purchase pretty soon unless you guys think there will be a drop in prices anytime soon.

Go for the it-2500K for gaming. It'll save around $100 and perform about the same in games.

 

[spentshells]

If it is a gaming machine save on the processor and get a 2500K
use the 100 bucks like this

better for gaming all the way around.

I was actually planing on Sli 580's in the future when i would need to upgrade, also a functional case is fine with me. It's looking like i should go with the 2500k tho.

 

[lvilleluke]

bump for some revisions

 

[we1shcake]

looking good to me although i would say get a higher end case such as the haf x if you plan to sli it in the future

Another question I have is I've heard that a lot of the better deals come in around late November to early December. Do you guys think anything on my list would be dropping in price anytime soon?
thanks
