I have been trying to build a gaming computer for the past 2 years (being deployed for a total of a year has hampered that). Now seems like a good time, what with all the pice drops and new achitectures coming out and i have decided i will build this thing around June/July timeframe.
Approximate Purchase Date: June 2012
Budget Range: $1600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and Monitor.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Probably Neweegg.com
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Intel
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I know the PSU is WAY overkill, but I want to futureproof this sytem as much as possible and leave options for SLI and overclocking without buying another PSU. Grand Total came out to just under $1600. Any suggestion on better bang for buck?
