Last check before I buy/build

[izcenine]

This is for a gaming rig, just wondering if there are any problems with this build or bottlenecks you see:

Budget is $1500

1866 RAM is pointless - you shouldn't be using over 1600. And make sure it's low profile. I'd also drop one of the hard drives and invest that in upgrading your GPU. The case choice is very nice.

Try something like this:

maybe be wise to get a 2tb hard drive and up your ssd to 120gb minimum

That's why it didn't add up - I forgot I had an i7. It's late. I'm tired. :lol:
