defiantly if your going for g design go with 680s

If you're gonna be video editing like Adobe After Effects, or do 3d graphic design like CAD, you will need as much RAM as you can, which is why I picked an X79 platform that can support up to 64gb of RAM using 8gb modules. Ivy bridge 3770k will be the last Z77/LGA1155 CPU, and as great as it is, it is only a quad core. I picked an I7-3820 because of the budget limitations for now, but when Ivy Bridge-E comes out, you will be left with a ton of upgrading options with the option of a hexa-core and octa-core. This motherboard and case also allows for up to 4-way SLI/Crossfire, if you ever wanted that much GPU power. Here is the list, just under $1800 after $55 in mail in rebates: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ow9v (Note: I left out the peripherals and minor things like the screen, keyboard, fans, optical drives.)

Well now...

Gaming - Get a Intel 3570k - perfect for this and when overclocked, can get some great performance

High end video editing, 3D Modeling, etc. - then better off going with a 3770k where the extra cores can make a big difference...

Mobo - MSI Z77-GD65

SSD - Samsung Pro 120GB for boot

Mechcanical - pick some 2TB drive of choise

PSU - Corsair AX, say 750...

Video Card - 7970

Memory - get 16GB but don'y bother with the high end stuff - 1600 and such perform pretty as well

Case - Get something that appeals to you

Water Cooling? - Look to H100i - make sure case you pick can hold it

Any left over? Get another 7970 :)
