Very similar to what I just built your going to love it especially the SSD if you've never had one! I got the 6950 1GB for $224 and it rocks for the games and res I play 1680x1050. Guess I haven't taxed it yet with a more modern game

Pretty much fits the consensus recommendations here on the forums for a gaming build. BTW, I assume OS is Win7-64, but what resolution monitor(s) is this going to drive?
