Trying to build a rig good enough to play current-gen games on maximum (not too concerned with future games at the moment, but I'm also not planning to upgrade anything for 1-2 years). My current, tentative parts list is located at http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Zeldaniac/saved/2GNA. (I don't have a hard drive or optical drive on the list as I already have those.)
1. Are the parts compatible? PCPartPicker says they are, but I'd like an answer from a human.
2. Are the parts a good value? I'm looking to spend less, but not at the sacrifice of quality. (I'm rather set on the video card, though, largely due to the recent price decrease and the three games temporarily bundled with it.)
3. How will it run? Battlefield 3 multiplayer + iTunes is likely the most intense action this system will endure. I've not a clue whether the current parts are insufficient, or way overkill.
4. Is it worth it to buy a 256GB SSD drive? I'm considering it, but I'm already past my planned budget.
Thanks!
