Sorry guys I have not had the opportunity to actually play with you guys on the beta yet and only been able to chat on mumble. Some know, some don't, I had sold my rig awhile back and am in the process of building a new one.

So with much debating and kicking things around, I think I have finally settled on what I want and would love some input real quick from you guys that have experience in building rigs on what you think about this parts list here.

I haven't looked at too many parts since I built my rig, but it all looks good. Just double check to make sure your MB will support it all. And If I were you I would just order straight from newegg. I have had great experiences with them in the past. I also might try and consolidate my parts list to one or two brands. Things tend to work more when there arent half a million different manufacturers.

I would go for an Asus motherboard and DVD/Blu-ray player, EVGA graphics card, Corsair(Case,RAM,SSD,PSU)

I worked in a PC repair shop for quite a while and I always found those manufacturers the most reliable, and Asus has an awesome return policy in-case anything does go wrong.

Wow, that thing looks killer.
