My New Gaming PC---------

Move to a 3570k instead of that 2500k you have in there, that's the only thing that I see wrong with the build. Looks good to build to me! :D

Stretch it another $60 and get a 60GB Intel 330 SSD as a boot disk? You'll notice the performance difference. Other than that, good build :)

I'll have a look tomorrow but you may need to just check the clearance with the cooler and RAM.

Should get a higher wattage PSU for more upgradeability in the future

Why bother? Computer components are decreasing the amount of power they consume with each generation and how many people who say 'oh I might SLI/crossfire' actually do it? Few and far between. If on the off chance he does do it, he could just buy a new PSU.

Spend an extra $100 on the graphics card and get a 7970.
