Alright, thanks for the help guys, i think i got all the input i needed, I guess i'm gonna go ahead and buy it now.

Uh, how is that so? the i5 2500k is one of the best CPUS in the market right now, and the 6870 is an exceptional mid range GPU. I think its a lot better than decent

Uhhh, an xbox is 250$. Are your saying i have to pay more than quadruple that to play my games with alittle more eye candy? I dont want to play all games at MAX settings, i just want medium to high.

Well the games i'd like to get good settings on are Skyrim,Crysis,GTA 4 and Witcher 2.. would this rig play those pretty well?

An i5 2500k and a Radeon HD 6870 is just "decent"? How?? How can i improve this then?.. If I'm spending over 600$ on somthing, i want to make sure its done right, so any help is apreciated. oh and btw, i live in Florida, so nowhere near a Microcenter.

450W is too low

So is that about the best i can get for my money?
