I am assuming you have a motherboard that fits an LGA 1155 CPU because you didn't list one.

But with all things consider its a good enough of a gaming rig, although one thing I would switch out is the hard drive, I personally would go with Western Digital but that's purely your choice on what you want to go with.

Sure enough I forgot to list MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard. And I'll definitely look into some Western Digital hard drives! Thanks for the input.

My Comment above wont come out correctly, but it is so much better. Flat out extreme performance. Its cheaper, all from amazon, looks better imo, MUCH better gaming performance.

Also didn't see you already have board, but just go with the i7-3770k. I don't know why your prices were so high.

Thank you for the parts you have listed! I already updated some of the things I'm using to newer, and less expensive parts and this list will definitely help. I will post an updated list of what I will use after I go through everything again as I can already see that many of the items here are newer and cheaper than what I have right now. Some of what I listed previously I've already done away with. For example I was planning on buying the i5 4670K processor instead. I definitely have a great deal to look through now.

I've pretty much switched everything over to the list you posted above, save for a few things. I'm still going to go with the GTX 770 graphics card as this saves me a couple hundred dollars (and I can update it in the future) and I'm still going to use the Deathstalker keyboard as well. My total is now sitting at $2257.86 which I'm quite happy with. I've saved a good deal of money, and learned a good deal about building my own PC.

I decided to go ahead and switch over to the 780 Ti graphics card and my total now sits at about $2770 because I also had to add in the Windows 8.1 OS and a disc driver so I can actually download it to the hard drive. Thanks again for the advice and helping me to create a better machine.
