I want to start off by saying thank you to Bluebarracuda, Stout, and Jcole and everyone else who helped with the questions I had. No lights as of yet, but will likely have a few later. The computer breezes with everything I throw at it. So far ultra settings with no lower than 60 fps on witcher2, LOL, Wow, CS:GO, Sniper, and MW3.
The build ended up being
LIAN LI CASE $99.99
Seasonic 850W modular PSU $109.99
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm HD $79.99
Intel i5-3570k Ivy Bridge 3.8GHz Turbo $229.99
XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB $399.99
Samsung 840 Series 250gb SSD $149.99
ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard $139.99
Patriot Viper Xtreme Series Division 2 Edition 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 : 44.99
Budget was $1500 so it came under by over $200 thanks to a copy of windows 7 I had and great deals I found. The SSD is ridiculous... If you are on the fence about getting one, just do it. Windows is up in less than 8 seconds... All games on it load immediately. This is my lil bro's introduction to the master race and he is loving it.

In the next few months I will slowly be acquiring hardware to update my system. How big of an SSD does one need? I do a lot of gaming, but I also do a lot of work that includes pretty intensive AutoCAD, ArcGIS, 3d rendering, and Adobe Creative Suite prgrams. Would I have all of these programs on the SSD, or do they go on the HD? Kind of the difference between me going with a 120gb or SSD or one around 250gb.

Am I the only one still gaming with Windows XP?
