Well, pulled the trigger. Put in an order for my first gaming rig last night. Cost me a pretty penny at $1100 but I think it will be worth it in the long run. I plan on using it as my long term computer anyway and the screen on my laptop has been giving me troubles lately. I fear it may be ready to give out.
Much thanks to Strigori and everybody else that gave PC advice on here. I did my best to trick this out, can't wait for it to arrive. Here are the specs:
