Additional Comments: No matter how much money I spend I always go for value while getting as much performance. I am building a computer where money isn't too much an issue. Although I don't think it's justifiable to spend another $150 to get a slightly better graphics card, so I am trying to get a top of line PC without spending unnecessarily too much. Once decision I am trying to make is if I should get an i5 or i7. Please don't just look at this build and think that I have $300 more to spend and that I can just throw it down on whatever. I will gladly spend $300 if it means I can get a significant improvement of some type but if I am spending 100 more for an i7 that does nothing for games and 100 more for a graphics card that is highly over priced for performance than no thanks.
850 w PSU and mobo combo.
64gb SSD
i5 2500k
2xGTX 560
8 GB RAM
This all comes out to be about a thousand.
