Looks fine but if you want to save a bit of cash an i5 will do you fine.

Hmm. I believe that is what I'll go with. Thanks guys!

Also not too sure on this one but isn't the 7950 better?

Yeah, I think I'll go with the i5-3750k. I do plan on doing some video editing, so I'll stick with 16GBs, and I do plan to have another video card sometime. Thanks for your input!

I believe both are pretty much equal, just the 7950 is cheaper-but I'm more of a nVidia guy. :P

As much as I love Radeon cards the 670 is a heavier hitter, at least in a standardized benchmark. Though, that's dropping some serious bank. I've always found the Radeon x850's to be the best bang for your buck, though I'd assume your fine with dropping that much if you were fine with the i7. I'm still running all games flawlessly on my 6850 and i5.

Well, I'm willing to change parts if there are better alternatives that can pretty much do the same for cheaper. I've switched to the i5-3570K because I don't run heavy processing apps that would require the i7's power. I've found that the 670 FTW is pretty much solid to pay for it, so I'm pretty much fine with it. Although if there are any thoughts, I'll take that into consideration. Thanks again.

It has a $20 dollar mail in rebate and comes with Assassins Creed 3 and Borderlands 2.
$350 (with the rebate) seems to be pretty much the average for this card.

I'm going with the "FTW" Edition. Has both of the games and a $10 rebate.

1.-You can Change your CPU for a i5-3570k
2.-You can use a CoolerMaster ExtremePower 600w PSU. (If you are planing to use more stuff probably a CoolerMaster with 800w)
3.-The MoBo its OK. You can also check the MSI Z77A-G45 is 20dls cheaper and have a lots of good freatures.
4.- Video Card is a wise choise. Theres not big difference between 670 and 680 except $100 bucks... LOL.
5.- You dont need that much RAM. 8GB is just fine.
6.- Also I recomend to you a SSD for quick booting, opening/saving/moving Files.

1: Changing to that
2: My PSU is 650W with 80+ Bronze efficiency, which is fine ATM.
3: I really like this MOBO; has exatly what I need, fine with it ATM also.
4: Yeah, GTX670 "FTW" > 680, basically same thing for cheaper, lol.
5: Took advantage of sales, if price rises, I'll drop to 8GB
6: I was looking at SSDs as the OS/Recording drive, but still unsure. In any case, I'm fine with the speeds of these HDDS.
Thanks for your input!
