Just to start off, I have already purchased everything in the list below, but haven't put it together yet as I still waiting for it to get here. I want inputs on what you think, feel free to be as critical as you like. Also if you have questions on why I purchased what I did, a large contributor to my choices was price. I bought everything over the Black Friday weekend and purchased most components that were on sale with a few exceptions. So please let me know what you think, and if you have any tips, that would be greatly appriciated. Oh, I will be using a Dell 2740DL 27" IPS monitor as my primary display; also this is mainly going to be a gaming rig. (Note: Everything was bought off Newegg with one exception)
