Notes:
regular 2 fans Mid Tower available at home, Not interested in SLi never ever ever. will OC CPU and GPU, SSD will be 1st drive in later upgrade and current HDD will be 2nd,why? to lower the cost and get better GPU,I can live without SSD now. Will play at Full HD 1080p on 24" as high settings as possible. Will upgrade to next gen mid/high tire single card ATi/Nvidia in mid/late 2013.
I play everything and I'm an eye-candy whore.
Any recommendation to make it future proof, The hardest choices were mobo and PSU basicly cause Im cluseless.
How can I make this a better PC around the same budget.
EDIT: Purchase date this week.
