Monitor: Asus 144Hz 24" Monitor
CPU: Intel i5-3570k
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme4
Case: Azza Genesis 9000
PSU: Corsair HX750 750W PSU on sale for $100
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212+
GPU:NVIDIA Geforce GTX 670 FTW
Storage: Crucial M4 256Gb SSD
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb 1600
Optical drive: Asus CD/DVD Burner
Speakers: Logitech Speakers
Buy date: Either this month or early March
Budget: $1800-$2000, and the current build is ~$1700 not including tax or shipping.
Preferred site: Newegg or Amazon
Current rig: All I have currently is a mouse and keyboard. I also have Windows 7 as a download, but no disc so I don't know how that will work.
Intentions: Exclusively gaming on a single monitor at 1920x1080. I'll be playing everything from League of Legends and WoW to Crysis 3, Skyrim and The Witcher 2.
Overclocking: I plan to overclock my CPU and GPU to safe and acceptable levels for the air cooler I'm getting.
Additional Comments: I'm buying the 670 FTW instead of the buying the 680 or waiting for the 700 series Keplar refresh as I hear that's possibly delayed until Q4. I plan to upgrade to a NVIDIA Maxwell card in 2014 after they're released and their prices stabilize.
Please inspect my build and make any comments you want on anything, it's my first time and I'm only doing this based on web research. If you have any tips that someone who has never built before might need I would love to have them.
