So I'm looking into getting a new gaming pc. I will be selling my current one and buying this new one so upgrading is out of the question. I already have a good heatsink and ssd so that is taken care of. I also can't go a dime more then $1065. Make sure it is under $1065 on newegg. I have reasons i use newegg and not split apart the orders. Here is what i have so far.

 

 
CPU:  AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor  ($114.98 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard:  Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard  ($84.99 @ Newegg) 
Memory:  PNY XLR8 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($76.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage:  Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($59.98 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card:  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card  ($505.98 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case:  BitFenix Shinobi Window ATX Mid Tower Case  ($59.99 @ Newegg) 
Power Supply:  Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($37.99 @ Newegg) 
Operating System:  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)  ($84.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $1025.89
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
