Stock up for when I need another one... :D

Thanks a lot, ha. I'm glad I'm no longer a noob! Oh, I'm aware that the the i7 is only a tad bit faster.. As I said earlier budget wasn't too much of an issue, so I decided to go i7.

Okay the final build is: CLICK ME! I was at the store and I decided that if I was spending $200+ then I might as well spend a few more bucks to get the i7, so I did. I'm glad I went with it. I've been playing Planetside 2 with the CPU running at about %20 at the highest. I went with the 32gb...

As Larry said, it's together.. I'll post what I went with in detail and how I like it so far.. I'm currently at work, so I don't have much time to post anything for a few hours.

Now right here, I agree with you. I've never had any issues with Steam and I run and older Core 2 Duo CPU as of right now.

Agreed, I game with headphones %95 of the time.. If the house is empty I break out my 5 speaker and subwoofer setup, but that seldom happens.

I'll spend the extra money to get a better quality SSD and a better PSU.. I think Microcenter has a few Corsair PSUs on sale actually so it worked out for me. As for the installation of the collog unit, you've got it right (I believe). The hardest part of the water cooling is flushing the...

You're right, Larry even mentioned that the V300's were junk.. So I'll pick up M500 instead..

Okay folks, I took you suggestions and for $200 less I am going to get a lot more machine than what I had before.. I appreciate the help, and I'm going to be picking the parts on Wednesday/Thursday...

Okay, guys.. I was unaware that an SSD was much faster than an HDD. I just chose the HDD because that what I was used to, and have in my current computer (which thanks to VirtualLarry, is back in action). I'm definatly going to grab an SSD and would probably settle at a 850w, power supply...

I wanted the processor so hopefully it would take another year for it to be outdated, plus I plan on streaming my games. I see what you mean with the RAM, its only expensive because it's a big name, sold at Best Buy, etc. I picked the hard drive because it was the highest rated on pcpartpicker...

Appreciate the input, I chose the board because it had a high pcpartpicker rating. And budget isn't an issue, if I buy this build I am definitely going with the 770 SLI..

Hey guys, I'm new here.. I was referred by my friend. I'm looking for some feedback on a build that I am contemplating. Am I missing anything? I've got all the peripherals already I wanted to know whether or not all I need to do is hook it up and turn it on? Also, with that PSU and everything...
