What'd you end up getting? Btw, if the 670GTX is too expensive you can always go AMD to save some money.. Thats what I did and tbh I've had zero problems with games due to my GPU.. Most of my problems have to do with my CPU being a 6core (I've got a FX6300 same as what Jon was looking at) and a lot of older games not being set up for it.. I have to update my BIOS frequently because of it, or games like Total War: Shogun2 and Warhammer 40k won't play correctly

As for keyboard and mouse I always stick with Logitech.. I've tried razer and everytime I end up returning the products to the store.. And if you're a gamer then I suggest getting some nice headphones.. I've got surround sound THX speakers but I never use them when I'm gaming because I find the headphones to be more manageable.

Yeeeeeeep.. I built my PC last year during black friday and tbh I haven't looked back.. When I built my PC I knew of the obvious draws such as better graphics/performance and being able to play MMOs or 64person BF3 games.. But the biggest surprise for me was how much cheaper PC games can potentially be.. I never knew STEAM had frequent sales or that I'd be able to find Metro 2033, Darksiders, CoH, and RFA for a $1.. So many deals on digital content its crazy.

Between my PC, PSVita, and occasionally my 3DS I'm in gaming bliss ATM
