Right now I do have a company building a custom computer for me but since I keep having problems with the company Im going to see if they will give me a refund (NEVER ORDER FROM CYBERPOWERPC.COM - they are a horrible company)(and yes I have tried to work it out with them). Anyways if anybody knows of a good place to get a custom desktop please let me know- Im wanting a desktop for gaming purposes and school work but mainly gaming. My budget is somewhere around 1500- 1700 but I would like to try and keep it on the lower end of the table. I did manage to found somebody on ebay who builds custom computers and was wanting to know what you think of this build.

Lovely... managed to close what I was typing :P Redoing it and straight to the point. NO. This is obviously meant to be a gaming PC but you have a mix of high-end and low-end parts. My suggestion...have us suggest parts within your budget, get them from Newegg, and find a good local shop to build it for you (unless you care to try).

Mobo - Gigabyte is great, but that's a very basic, lower-end board.
RAM - Get some decent RAM (say G.Skill) and DDR3 1600
HDD - DO NOT get a green drive. They have a very short lifespan and tend to run slower than other mainstream drives.
HDD FAN - Completely unnecessary.
Cases: Fancy/cheap case. Temp control stuff completely unnecessary.
PSU - Cheaper brand, probably multi-rail, not well suited for high-end GPUs.
KB/Mouse - Find those locally and confirm you like the feel...
Speakers: Mediocre speakers.
Operating Systems: Pro? 32bit? Wasting money with Pro, limiting yourself to > 4GB of RAM with 32bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 32bit DVD w/SP1
Monitors: I-Inc?? Not sure if I trust that brand...
 
I just installed the very same motherboard in my system and it's a sweet board.

Also change your PSU to Seasonic made PSU.
 
I have tried to found somebody that will build me a custom computer around here but there any, I have posted ads and stuff nothing I have even called a bunch of the local computer companies that fix broken computers out here and they all say no they won't build one. I only other choice would be me to build it but I don't want to try - there are so many things that could go wrong that I don't want to attempt it and plus I really don't know much about computers I just know how to tell if a certain game will play on it or not and thats it, thats why I was looking into custom built computers.
So instead of Microsoft pro 7 what should I get I dont want windows 8 seeing how the games I have probably wont work on it.
 
Well if there are people that can build a computer here they don't want business or I just don't know where to look seeing how I can't found anybody. Right now I would rather how somebody else build my computer- I don't have enough free time to build a computer.
