My Sub $1000 Build. (In the mail)

[Demo_Beta_v2]

So, I've finally finished parting out a new gaming rig after waiting around for the last few months. This build was looking like it would run $1300 when I started and I'm really shocked that I kept this sub $1000. It took some waiting around for Newegg deals in my inbox to get it done, but it's done. The only spot I got burned on was the RAM as it was going for nearly half the price three months ago; however, the ram I bought has a red low-profile heatsink, matching the colors of the MOBO and red LED fans. Also, I've got 90 day price match on my credit card and may get a few bucks back on the MOBO/CPU.

That's a great build and congratulations on the new rig, but did you have any questions?
