Finalized Gaming Rig

Ok guys, I've decided to build my own PC simply because the website i was using didn't carry the brands i wanted. All parts are from newegg, let me know what you guys think, I'm very happy with it currently. Will begin ordering parts in a few days.

New guide is up http://forum.ragezone.com/f116/revis...guides-926392/ , your build is similar to the Enthusiast build. As far as i can see the specs are almost identical other than a more powerful GPU, i would re-check your components prices and justify that $200-300 price difference (after adding OS, case & shipping). You don't want to be unnecessarily spending on "performance" you're never going to actually see.
