Let me thank people in advance for help! I also don't want to build my own PC, so don't tell me to do that. :na:

I am building a gaming pc that will be powerful enough to play games for years to come, but on a budget. I was targeting $1500, but I built this one out for $1594 on CyberPowerPC.com with all of the holiday discounts. I currently have an iBuyPower computer I bought off NewEgg and have been very satisfied with it, and I understand that they are basically the same company. I wanted to be a bit more custom this time and some key things I was targeting are a 256-ish SSD and GTX770 graphics card.

I picked the extra fans options and the Enermax fans. The motherboard was picked based on what PC Gamer magazine recommended in the latest magazine I picked up, but I really don't have a clue about motherboards. I also have no clue with what power supply I should run, but I picked a "Bronze Certified" model and 750w. Also, not sure if I should have them factory overclock the system and if I do, go with the 10% or 20%+?

I've done a ton of searches on the individual components and whatnot, and tried to pick parts with good feedback on this site, NewEgg, or other random websites but I am a real novice at this stuff.

I'd love to hear any feedback or tweeks you guys would recommend!

As for your first question, I don't know what those are...I'm not a computer hardware guy.

And I don't know if I need an i7. I chose it based on what I've read when searching around. Feel free to let me know if it is a waste of money.

I do seem to recall reading that some MMORPGs are processor intensive, but I have no idea if that is true or not. I do plan to play Elder Scrolls Online and EverQuest Next when they are released.
