Ok well here goes, I am wanting to build a new gaming computer from scratch and my budget is around 2k but would not mind spending less of course as long as it is a good build, I have been tinkering on newegg for a few months now just messing with the wishlist and seeing the prices of different builds and I have been checking out the forums here on other peoples builds but I am still stuck, a ssd drive is not to important to me but if it is crucial then i can get one but this is what I have already, also i already have a 2tb hd so thats why one is not on there

These are just a general idea for now and i would love to hear everyone opinions, I like the case because it is so large and the prob i have now with my current full size case is that it feels a little cramped so i figured just get one a little bigger so i dont feel that way again haha.

so what is it with the amd cpus that make them so bad? Like i said i dont mind either intel or amd but I do not really fully understand the problems and benefits with them, and would 1 7970 be better then cf 6970? i did some research and got mixed reviews...especially seeing as the 7970 needs pci e 3.0, that is one reason i changed my other intel build when i wanted the i7 3930k because the new radeon card was so expensive and i didnt know if it was worth the price seeing as 3.0 is fairly new
