Here is a summary of the specs I intend with the actual models below. The total is looking around $1600 but I am willing to spend a little more if the performance will be notable. Id like to add an addition GTX480 and decent size SSD in the future if it is relevant. Thank for helping a first time builder!!! PLEASE let me know if you would change, add, remove anything... Purpose is gaming and media hookup to a 55" samsung tv.
