New gaming rig

[dodron1324]

I am looking for recommendations for a good gaming build, I was looking towards i7 for a cpu but I wouldn't mind some input, don't really have a budget except not looking to spend $1200 on just cpu and mobo, looking to upgrade from Radeon hd6670 graphics card too if anyone has any suggestions. If there is an AMD equivalent for cheaper i'd go for that but intel has always provided better performance to me.

Well if you don't have a budget then get close to top of the line everything. Just make it Core i7 LGA 2011.

Do you need monitor/mouse/keyboard and OS?

I will be purchasing a new monitor, I was debating on a tv just because it could be multi-use, and I will be getting windows 7 as well.

Here is a build with the monitor and OS. Also if this pc is for gaming mainly then you don't need i7 that money can be put towards a better graphic card like the one I have in this build...anyways here it is...
