I'd either go the 3570K or AMD 8350.

Cooling I'd go with either a D14, H80i, H100i or X60. I personally don't like the H110 because it looks like something Corsair drew together in 10 minutes because of NZXT's announcements.

I'd definately go the 670 over the 660TI if you can afford it.

A 650W PSU will be fine, even as low as 500-550 will also do.

For motherboards I'd also suggest looking at the ASRock Extremes and Asus P8Z77-M Pro and -V.

RAM - for gaming you'll be fine with 8GB of C9 1600Mhz.

SSD - Those SSD's are good. Other options would be the Samsung 840, Intel 330, OCZ Vertex 4 and Sandisk Extreme.

Have a think about those and yeah... :)

I'd get the MSI GD55 and a msi 670 power edition not sure why you're wondering whether to get MSI's entry level z77 or there highest end one, pick up this nice middle of the road board and it will look great with the 670 power edition and why is your text all different sizes and shit

I guess I was too over rated with myself there about getting a 680 with the MSI Big Bang my budget is 2500 that is with monitors included and the OS and I forgot the say that I will be doing the dual 660ti's 3GB versions because I am doing 4 monitors. 3 in surround and one up top of me. and my text is like I was doing 2 typing one for something and everytime I copy paste an item to this it copies that Font and ok I will go with the GD55 then the X60 in the 500R white
