Made a thread yesterday, although I found out I overestimated my budget.

Approximate Purchase Date: Tonight.

Budget Range: 700-775 if possible, can go up to 800 though

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming>web browsing>light editing using Photoshop/Premier CS6

Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon would be nice, I have a few gift cards from Christmas, also willing to buy from anything else trustworthy

Country: Wisconsin

Parts Preferences: I'd really like to have the 660ti and the i5 3570k

Overclocking: For sure

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe down the line, not a major issue though

Monitor Resolution: I've got a 1080p 23' AOC monitor.

Additional Comments: I'd like this PC to last me a while as far as gaming goes. I'd like it to run anything currently out at max settings with steady FPS. I also would like it to be able to run next-gen games whenever they start coming out, not necessarily running them at max by any means though.
 
If you do want oc and dual graphics option you have to increase your budget
