Ok so I am planning a new rig for Christmas :D so I have not included optical drive, mouse and keyboard as it is not necessary. So what do you guys think grand total of 1378.9$. Things may change if I can get a better GPU from the new series at the same price. Also if you can recommend better parts that are cheaper or as good as the current one I will drop as it is not necessary to spend all of the money. I don't live in the states so no rebate or free shipping have no importance, prices are about 30% higher here so I have taken that into account.

I would try and get shorter ram since it may cause issues with CPU coolers. Speaking of which, get a better CPU cooler.

Otherwise looks pretty good.

[QUOTE="kraken2109"][QUOTE="Silicel1"] Well I don't wan't to overclock I will probably run stock cooler(for awhile) as it is very unnecessary. But maybe down the road I will get a all in one water cooling kit.About the memory I had them in my last rig and I could just plug them into the slots near the edge of the board.Silicel1

Ugh.....the answer is NO, you do not need to overclock and further, with no overclock, the stock HSF will be just, fine.

Drop windows 8 and get windows 7 64-bit unless you plan on changing the monitor to a thouch screen.

I will admit that windows 8 works really well when you have a touch screen monitor i have tried it out and liked it alot. BUT that being said if you are using a mouse and keyboard it becomes pain in the ass real quick.

I would also like to add that games will be better supported on windows 7 as i have seen several developers say they dont like windows 8 and will be sticking with windows 7.

I would say for a gaming PC windows 7 is the way to go.
