^^^Thiiiis. What kind of monitor setup are you thinking? If you're only going with a single 1080p monitor, I feel like a lot of this is overkill. Are you using this for anything intense other than gaming?
This yes, my GTX 670 runs everything I need on Ultra smoothly. I'm running a 1080p 23" monitor and couldn't be happier.
My only complaint with my PC is that I need to replace my SSD to something bigger, I've already got the replacement, I am just dreading it.

Why do you need to replace it? Run the OS off the SSD and use the other thing for storage.

Metro: Last Light. Fuck man, it's good.
The shitty DLC controversy aside, I am really liking the game. So far the stealth elements are well done and i'm enjoying that playstyle with a sneaky backstabs and muffled Pistols. EB Games stuffed up the pricing for it so I got it for half price and I was immediately sold.

You know I realised the other day that I haven't walked into a store and bought a box copy for at least two years. Might have something to do with the fact that I worked at EB's for a year, kind of ruined it.

I really should play all of these games that I have bought or got in packages but have either not finished or never even played.
Look at me be a first world american.

Even though PC hard copies are virtually useless, I still like having a semi collection. I'm kind of a hoarder like that, I keep all my boxes/packaging for pedals and computer parts - just cause.

Yeah I hear you, games are just about the only thing I don't "collect" and I think it's mostly because before I switched to PC I never kept my old consoles, they always went into funding a next gen machine. I think I am slowly getting less enjoyment out of collecting stuff because I value having less clutter about more than I used to. My music collection brings me endless amounts of pain, I just ran out of storage again so I am either going to have to fork out or go completely digital. Sucks.

I've been really addicted to the Uncharted series. I borrowed the first one from my girlfriend's father and beat it in a day or two. I really enjoyed the entire story line, up until those stupid fucking monsters came out. I'll still complete the series, but it lost points there.

Ordered my pc parts today. This rig is going to be a beast!
-Corsair Carbide 500r Case
-Intel Core i5 4670k
-MSI Z87 MOBO (I know you all said Gigabyte but I got a combo deal with this and the processor and saved $100, plus it is pretty well reviewed)
-Corsair HX850 PSU
-MSI N770 GTX Nvidia GTX770
-16gb 2133mhz GSkill RipJaws RAM
-Corsair Neutron 120gb SSD
-1TB Western Digital HDD
-Asus Blu-Ray Drive
-Corsair Vengeance K60 Mechanical Keyboard
I'll be using an old HDTV as a monitor until I save up for a nice one that I really want.
