Here's the parts list for my new build.  I will probably go with a GTX 660 ti when my budget allows, but temporarily I will use the integrated graphics (please don't flame LOL).  I will add a keyboard and mouse as well, just haven't decided on what I want.  I have some older peripherals that I can use for now.  Do you see anything I've missed to get this up and running?

You've got a pretty similar build to me. I did the same thing with the integrated graphics until I had the money. I bought a 7770, that's tying me over until I have the money for a 670 or something. Having only integrated graphics is miserable, so it's worth grabbing a 7770 (only 80 quid for me) until you have the money for something juicy.

Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

Good thoughts bchampion, thank you.  "Miserable" for gaming or all around in general?
