What do you think?

I usually am either gaming or 10 tabs open on chrome. I really want to know how well this will do exactly that.

I really would like to play modern/new games on this on medium with a high fps or on high with a medium fps, a little confusing but I hope you get the point.

Build:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2550K 3.40 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1155
HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
RAM: 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1333MHz Dual Channel Corsair
MOBO:GigaByte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 Chipset DDR3
PSU: 700w(SLI/Crossfire)
GPU: AMD Radeon 6850 1GB/GGDR5

About: $800 total, I could maybe go up to $850.

Why not the i5 2500K and you can easily overclock to 3.4 from 3.3 if that's what you want. (Can overclock way higher)
For the type of gaming your trying to do (I'm guessing at 1080p) that GPU will do just fine.
I'm curious to know which RAM exactly can you provide a link.
I'd choose this Mobo instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128495

I will be using it for games such as, lol, maybe mw3 and bf3, and the random steam games and some more.

Also, I have a 32" HDTV that I would like to use as a temp monitor until I get a real one, do you know if it would work?

I will provide the answers to the rest of the q's when I get back!

Yes. Via HDMI, VGA as long as your HDTV has the ports.

What would be better video, the HDMI or VGA, or would they be the same.

One more question how well will this computer run modern games. I know I could easily get 60fps on LoL because I can get that with my current laptop w/ Intel Graphics. I'm talking about MW3/BF3 on Med/High graphics with "OK" fps, I know I can run most steam games on high or ultra since a lot of them are more processor then GPU.

HDMI is better hands down.

It should run modern games decently like you would like, definitely.

If your 32" is a 768 resolution you should hit high settings with that card. According to this you can play it pretty well even at higher resolutions. I'd say you're looking good even at 1080. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-3.html

HDMI OR DVI are good. You'll receive 1080p regardless. Now depending on your monitor you may have 3D capabilities.
Check your monitor if it can go above 60hz. 120hz is the 3D standard.
HDMI only does 60hz regardless of your hardware. Its just the conversion.
DVI and/or Display-port does 60-120hz. Which you would be covered.

Regardless good build to play all current games at a decent quality/performance.

Very last question probably will it be that difficult to upgrade lets say the GPU, because otherwise my parts seem pretty good. Just want to know for the future. What you guys have been saying it seems like I won't have to upgrade for a little bit.

Ok never mind that I have another, what monitor should I be looking at. What are some good/ok specs.

Scratch that again, what would you rather have a for RAM: 4gb w/ 1600mz or 8gb 1333mz
Also what does a Intel smart response do?:30 GB ADATA S396 Turbo Series SATA-II 3.0Gb/s SSD - 280MB/s Read & 250 MB/s Write

Thanks guys or girls!

Upgrading your GPU in the future will be a piece of cake so don't worry about that.

If your looking for monitors try and get yourself an Asus.

4GB 1600mhz in my opinion. I'm pretty sure you can find 8GB (2x4GB) 1600mhz for cheap, why not that instead.

As for the intel response to be honest I don't know maybe the other guys do. That's an okay SSD but try aiming for 6.0Gb/s SSD much faster.

I use Intel RST and I'm very unimpressed. I originally set it up (set up is a giant pain by the way) hoping for 15 second boot times. What I have now are very fast read/write times that are on par with an SSD but my boot times are still 35 seconds. Others have reported 15 second boots, so IDK.....maybe I just set something up wrong.
