i might wait on the graphics card amd might realease the 8000's series by then

^Piehead's build is solid, but a few revisions:
- Swap the Ripjaws RAM for the Ares series for easier CPU cooler installation
- Motherboard to ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP
- HDD to Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB

^Dont forget to change the CPU to the i5 3470. Wont notice a difference. OP might actually be able to afford a 7950 if the downgrades allow.
