Alright, so I am building (first time) a high end gaming computer setup. I wanted an intel processor and a strong GPU. As for a budget there isn't one, but I don't want this to hurt my head too much Here is what I came up with:
1tb HDD $111 (got an open box for less. good choice?) http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0352167
i7 2600K $300 (after taxes, but may change to i5 for 100 less) http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354587
850w GOLD ocz modular PSU $140 (rebate) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341044&Tpk=ocz%20850w
Lian Li K63 Case $120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112320&Tpk=lian%20li%20k63
570gtx GPU $350 (not sure if I should get 560gtx or some radeon model instead) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130620
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS $215 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790
Corsair Vengence 8gb RAM $40(changed to slim model) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233186
DVD Burner $20 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
Windows 7 $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986
SAMSUNG P2770FH ToC Rose Black 27" 1ms Full HD HDMI LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 70,000:1 (1,000:1) $300 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001431
Then for a keyboard and mouse I am just using an average Microsoft one. Had to "save" somewhere.
It all (including monitor, OS, etc) adds up to about $1750 I think.
UPDATE: Getting close to final build, and updated "leading" components.
II will happily listen to any comments, opinions, or advice.
