    Looks like a good build, though I would probably get an Intel SSD.
    Thats a decent price aswell, an i5, SSD, and CrossFire for Under $900

    Sometimes measuring the bottleneck can be interpreted in so many ways. The only Thing ATI can render better then Nvidia is BSoD.

    I would personally toss that soundcard in the trash, Creative cards have always been very finicky with drivers and support... I'd swap that sound card for a good one, if you have no idea what IS a good one, and you can spot a troll well enough head over to www.4chan.org and visit the technology board. They have some serious audiophiles amongst their anon's They can point you in the right direction for a sound card, if you tell them what kind of sound setup you want, and what for.

    It's actually one of X Gamer PC's pre-built rigs, you can customize it and It just adds a couple of bucks depending on which parts you select. I'm contemplating opening up my first line of credit EVER in order to purchase a good PC so I'm not left with a bouncing frame rate of 15 to 31 FPS in BF3 (thats on low low settings)

    When I built my first PC 5 years ago, I maxed out two credit cards for a total of 1200 bucks. I know the feel nukem haha, well whatever you do be sure not to max it out, as soul crushing debt, is exactly that haha.

    You know I back this setup Nukem :)

    I would favour the branded gfx cards above the reference design followers - i.e. ASUS

    Allows you to get extra juice if necessary :)
