I am building this primarily for gaming.
The prices may be off, but the components are correct. I want to dabble in over clocking which is why I went with the "K" processor as well as the Extreme4 mobo.
My biggest concerns were power supply (flying blind, just got a listed one with enough headroom to potentially run two 670s SLI), CPU cooler (if i needed one or not), and if 8GB of RAM was enough
I would love any input.
