Thanks for all of the great advice! Dropped down to 8GB of RAM and to a 650 Watt power supply, and swapped my other monitor for an ASUS 23-inch Full-HD LED IPS. Also selected an i5 CPU instead of an i7.

Hey guys, I've been dreaming of this PC for about a year now, and very soon I might just have the funds to put it together, and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for maybe a better part or something that costs a little less that would have the same impact on performance. I plan on ordering everything through Amazon using Prime for the free 2-day shipping to save in that department.

This is my first build and I want this PC to last me for some years to come so I tried to get some quality parts for gaming and a little college work on the side.

Definitely looking forward to next-generation gaming, and Steam has me interested in what they are doing with their console.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So I'm building my first gaming PC, and Linus' video he posted of his complete build gave me a good starting point for what I'm trying to do. This is also my first blog so bear with me. Here's the list of what I'm going to use to build my PC, and as a college student I'm on a bit of a budget. Intel core i5 3570k CPU Intel 300 series 180GB SSD MSI GeForce GTX 770 Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 RAM Corsair GS700 power supply Corsair H700i CPU cooler Corsair SP quiet fans Cooler Master CM Storm Scout II case Corsair M95 gaming mouse Siberia V2 headset Razer Deathstalker Ultimate keyboard Asus VS248H-P 24 inch monitor Right now, everything is going to cost me about $2635.99, and I am buying everything off of Amazon except for the keyboard. If anyone has some suggestions as to any of these components I can switch out for something that will work better or is maybe cheaper but will produce the same results, please let me know. I plan on playing games such as Skyrim, Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed 3 and 4, and Warframe with this build. I understand that some of these components may be a little out-dated, but when I have the money, I plan to upgrade some of them.
