Here is what i have thus far, and whats in the mail :P

And the vid card game with BF3 and Dirt 3, win… :P
I have spent the last 2 months of intensive research for computers and such. With a budget or 700 initially, it bloomed into a 1200 dollar budget, but settled for a 1300 one hahaha.
Here are my parts, but they are still in shipping at the moment:
Intel i5 3570k Asrock Z77 Extreme4 Geforce GTX 670 (EVGA FTW Edition) Crucial M4 128gb SSD Rosewill HIVE 750w Rosewill Blackhawk Case 8gb G.Skill Ripjaw X 1600mhz RAM Optical Drive (name brand, rewrites, what else matters? lol) Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels Rosewill Internal All-In-One card reader Windows 7 64bit (of course)
I have a lot more things I want to buy, but I have to wait for the next paycheck to invest in the rest (namely gaming periphials:
ASUS VH236H Black 23" Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor Rosewill RX-C200P 2.5" SSD / HDD Plastic Mounting Kit for 3.5" Drive Bay Logitech G110 Black USB Wired LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard Logitech G330 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset Rosewill RCW-565 25ft. /Network Cable Cat 6 Black Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound Arctic Silver ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET) Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier Razer Nostromo (Expert Gaming Pad)
(estimated $485 to get all the rest of the build)
It's taken so long to put this build together, and get over the sticker shock. I built my grandmother a computer awhile back with the AMD FX 4100 CPU, and it loads everything she does instantly, it cost 400 bucks. My video card is 420 alone. :/
I've been gaming on an HP G72 Notebook PC. It's WEI is 3.3. Can you say un-playable frame rates? Lol
