this is the over all total

x1250w = 1,602.91$ (after rebate and the 15% off from psu)

if you can still get the 15% off promo for the seasonic psu then go grab that one its much cheaper than the 850w, but if you are too late and can't get the promo then stick with the 850w

Anywhere I can cut without cutting performance that much? Or any other ideas is cut it down a little. I make be able to get a smaller hard drive because I have an external hard drive.

get a 500gb hdd if you can, then since you wont be over clocking any 750w is not really good imo, with that set up the seasonic 520w 80plus bronze is a good go for you it should really loosen up your budget, those 2 i mention should help you out

Anyone else wanna chime in on anything?

Can get an i5-2500k instead of 2600k, for gaming, no difference cept price. Also get an asrock z68 mobo its 121.99 on newegg. Full featured probably tons cheapers. Get a better vid card. 560 ti is very mid range, get a 7950 or 7970 for future upgrading. Can squeeze it in with the saving from the CPU and mobo.

Would the i7 be better for streaming on justin/twitch? I know its very CPU intense.
