Ok, I have no actual budget. I prefer to not go too high. Anything over 1.5k is too much though, unless it's really worth it.
I really just need a good computer that can run games now on high/max(Crysis 3, BF3, any demanding games).
Don't link amazon, as I can't buy from them.
Thanks for your help. I really have no idea where to start. At all...

If you want to go "all out" and destroy every game on multiple monitors, etc. plus have all the extra features.

All the above builds have an absolutely AWESOME case, and I recommend black with blue leds. I chose out the components to somewhat match the exterior. :-)

A lot cheaper build with a lot of stuff removed but still maxes every game on a single monitor.

Yes it will, what the fuck are you talking about. Why would you not get the z77?
But seriously what the fuck are you talking about?
Is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6822236353 a good hard drive? I can get it for a really good price from somewhere else.

But seriously what the fuck are you talking about? STZ77 only supports up to 1600MHz RAM but you included 1800MHz. It's an absolutely beast of a board but there's no reason to go for super component aesthetics on a budget like his. I think he'd prefer a no-window case that looks good inside without overdoing it, but really awesome externally.

Newegg states it supports up to 1866mhz.

Also, like I said I don't think spending all that just for the aesthetics and what not of the board is worth it, what do you think? Because in a budget like this I'd like to see an i7 or FX-8350 and drop the ST Z77.

Sure I guess, I wouldnt compare the FX-8350 to a 3770k, so.... But really if he isn't doing more than gaming he has no use for 8 cores/threads. Aesthetics are very important, well at least to me, inside and out.

Thats not a real photo right, its an artist impression or at least a 3D render, all cases almost always look amazing as CGI.

Everything is EXTREMELY sturdy and super awesome. A lot of the case employs maximum tool-free, for example the front of the case is connected with magnets so you can easily pull to open and access caddies and it closes/opens absolutely smooth. The case is a boss and I'm getting it. :-)

Anyway, here's one without any edits.

How about one in the light? Darkness can hide imperfections, just like drunkenness does ;)
