I believe, after hours of digging through forums and reviews, I have finally decided the specs of my pc. However, I want to make sure everything is evenly spec'ed and worth the cash. My budget is 820 USD and not a penny more. Please let me know if I should swap out/scrap some parts. Here's the list-
