    Will this work(for my first build)

    The price was the same and I can get my parts locally from frys. You gotta be crazy if you think I'll deal with shipping during christmas, plsu the fees stacked onto them as well. The power supply is skimping a lot. The memory is pretty good though, can't beat new egg on that though.

    What graphic card should I get?

    After looking around, I've decided on getting a AMD 7700,7790 or a 7850 most likely. The 7870 is just pushing the price tag and defeating the purpose of me trying to save money. After looking through everything with these cards, the 7700 seems to play most new games at low above 70 fps and a...
