I need one last piece of advice, flood. I've decided on a desktop because of the ability to upgrade components, as well as the significant increase in power. I want to be able to run the most insane games on the highest settings, and I'm hoping this configuration will do it for me. So, flood, what do you think of this build:

Edited by HurtfulTurkey: 7/21/2013 5:56:55 PMGet on Steam right now and stock up on games. That machine's a beast, by the way. If you haven't invested in a good keyboard & mouse, at least two monitors, and at least a cheap 5.1 audio system, then you should work on those next.
