:) I need a powerful rig, very powerful. My budget is unlimited, as I am saving up with the PC in mind, so I'm counting as I go. It needs to be able to "destroy" every game coming out this year and breeze through the next few years on max settings(I'm a graphics freak). And, the parts need to come from this meta-search engine: www.kurpirkt.lv That's about it... Thanks in advance!

If you are willing to wait for bulldozer you might as well skip than and wait for ivy bridge. 3-d transistors FTW.

yeah I second that actually after all these years and with all Intel's developments and financial resources I cant imagine AMD will be on-top for long if at all.

I meant I'd pick them myself, which I did. Why is it horrible? What should I change?

For one, you have a micro atx motherboard, thats the reason it is so cheap. You need a regular motherboard since you are buying a normal case. Also you have a i72600, the best CPU on the market, but you have a 6870 as your GPU, its unbalanced. I would get a i52500k and get a GTX570 or a 69501GB if you want to spend less money

Get a 2500k for sure... you save about $100 compared to the 2600k and the performance really isn't worth the difference. OC the 2500k and you won't need to upgrade for a long, long time.
