I'm going for around a $900 build but have about $700 at the moment. I was thinking of just doing the build and purchasing a graphics card later on.

Are these parts good/is this a good build?

Any ideas on a graphics card?

P.S. I hope to order most if not all of the parts from Amazon versus Newegg as I can get free shipping.

Thanks.

Right now best performance for price is in the nvidia gtx 670 which keeps up with 680 quite well. Nice motherboard deal verbalizer.

I really want the case that I chose, but I'll consider the other two combos.

As for the graphics card.. I'm thinking something around $200.

Thanks.
