Hey you guys, I want to make sure that i'm going to get the most bang for my buck.
I've been waiting since about mid december to make my build and i can't wait any longer... So when the 685 is released I'm going get two of them because I should have more funds by then. (Futerproofing as much as it can be to make it through the rest of college)

Please note I can't go any lower then the 1000watt power supply because I'm doing it under the Gamer Xtremem 4200 bundle pack(slightly cheeper then just doing it from scratch) Oh and the SSD's are free after MIR so might as well get them!(Can't justify spending top dollar for a little faster load times so it's free SSD's or none)
If you see anything that I should upgrade, or downgrade just let me know. I've done quite a bit of reserch into this build (except the mobo I have no idea what I'm doing there ). I relise that the 3770k isn't that much better then the 3570k, but I enjoy the bragging rights. I will change it however if you can point me where to better spend the $100
