Hello guys.

I have been researching this for weeks and weeks, and I have finally decided all the parts I am getting! It is going to be a gaming PC and I will play Runescape, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and Emulator games. This will also be used for very little video recording and uploading as well as general usage and youtube videos on fast stream and 1080p quality.

Anyway, without further ado, here it is:

I already own a copy of Windows 7.

Since the i5-2500k is out of stock, I cannot make use of the $50 discount on motherboard, so I decided to buy the motherboard and the cpu on newegg as well.

What do you all think?

Looks pretty good, but I have some questions about the power supply.

-Are you planning on using two video cards in the future? If not, a quality 650w is all you need.

-Do you need a modular PSU? The HAF 922 has plenty of space behind the panel behind the motherboard to hide all the cables. I prefer that instead of taking off cables and misplacing them, and when you need to use those cables, you have no idea where they are. Just a thought.
 
I want to keep the Crossfiring option open, so I got the 850W unit.
I just like Antec, so I chose it. If there are better ones, I am all ears.
 
I would say he is. If you can fit it into your budget, it will change the way you look at computers. Everything will be blindingly fast.
 
If you can afford it, I'd say get it

Someone on another forums says an SSD is not worth getting? Is he wrong?

No moving parts means it'll last longer. They're also faster than HDDs and quieter (but it's more important to back up data with a SSD than with a HDD). Yet other advantages are these: they consume less power, they rarely suffer from mechanical failure and they take up less space and weigh less.

We're here to give you information in response to specific questions

We can't tell you what to build and in the end you would have to let us know how it's going for you. Do you have any more questions?
 
My opinion

There are many factors to consider. I would be conservative on spending the money as you can always change later on to see how things are going. Keep researching and get demos when possible (youtube is particularly valuable here).
 
I have a job, and this $ was a birthday present, so I will be saving the job $ for a car, but spending this $ on everything I want in a computer. :)
