CPU- 3570k -$220
Mobo - Sabertooth Z77 -$240
Case - Obsidian series (any) -$140
Vid card- 660ti -$300
ram- 8 or 16gb Gskill 1600 -$90 (if 16)
cooler- Noctua D14 or U12P if air, H100 if closed loop water. - $70-$110
HDD- WD 1/2tb -$170 (2tb)
SSD - Crucial M4 128gb -$100
PSU - 650W Corsair/Seasonic/Antec Truepower/other Seasonic rebadges - $100

Total: $1370
With Tax: $1548.

You can swap 660ti for 670, if the ~10% performance difference is worth $100 to you.

I have a friend who works at NCIX, he could help you get a "better" quote.

I would downgrade the processor, cooler and motherboard, and only go with 4 or 8GB of RAM and invest the extra cash in a better graphics card which will actually provide performance increases for gaming. Also, who the hell needs a terabyte or more of space, lol? Get an SSD, the speed is addictive.

he did pick an ssd if u noticed, and 500 gb will be enough. also a gtx 670 would be better for games, some parts are a little overkill and GPU is most important

Ah, my bad. Still, I would just go with a 200-ish GB SSD and save the extra 70 dollars or so to invest in the graphics card.

Okay. Do you need a lot of storage? If not I would only recommend getting a smaller HDD to supplement it, just use the extra cash for your graphics card which is your most important component for gaming.
