Post Body

I actually already submitted this build this morning but i realized later it was at like 3 in the morning when i did and thus very few people where on and now has disappeared to who knows what page.. The two replies i got i expected, SSD and case, i don't necessarily disagree with either but the SSD i don't have the extra money for really and am not convinced is worth it just yet though will probably be soon. The case was chosen just because i liked it when i first saw it but was never set in stone and even after submitting the original post I was actually still going through cases. If you really want to you can suggest other cases, since i am still going though a list of them anyways, but comments on the bulk of the build would be even better. Anyways i just wanted to run it through here one last time at a time that more people are most likely on to get some more opinions. Everything after this point is copied straight from the original post. Thanks for looking at it.

After doing a bit of research and seeing what being recommended here i finally decided on what you see above. I have about a $1000 budget, that i could probably stretch a bit farther if needed but would rather not, and as you can see i came in just under that, with rebates at least. The computer is for gaming for the likes of skyrim, batman, and the many other current games on the market, preferably on high/ultra. Recently had to move back to my desktop since my laptop went belly up and my desktop is starting to show its age. So i think it time to change that and actually build my own desktop, which i have been wanting to do for a while.

So what do you think? Anything you would change, add or remove?
