Additional Comments: I'm completely new to building PC's. I've tried to do my homework by reading guides and forum posts, but most of the lingo is like a different language to me so not all of it sticks. Everything I've selected is basically from user reviews and an extremely basic understanding on compatibility. All I want a PC that can handle all the gaming I can throw at it with max settings, but can also handle my digital modeling software (maya, max, etc.). I have a buddy that builds PC's, and he's going to help me to an extent, but I'd like to do most of it by myself so any other advice about physically putting the thing together would be really helpful.
Here's my newegg wishlist. Feel free to pick it apart, particularly if I did anything completely stupid (which is very possible).
Thanks in advance!
