The issue though is while I "want" to max out my games, I don't "need" to max out my games. High settings are perfectly reasonsable...it's hard to justify adding another $300 to the pricetag for that purpose alone. Hard to decide, lol.

so onto the GPU issue again that a few people have mentioned. I'm looking at the 770 that I had already selected (4gb version), for $370. A few people mentioned the 780ti...which from what I can see is $730ish? That is quite a big leap and not sure if it would really be worth that much of an...

WD Black is $25 more... SSHD - $125 WD Black - $150 Thanks, yeah I'm planning on beginning the build in early March, so hopefully a few things will go on sale between now and then. And about your touchscreen comment, it is actually purely for novelty purposes for my children (it's better to...

@Durv, I guess you missed my earlier post with a few of my reasonings :). 32GB is needed, as I will be using some virtual machines expensively. SSHD is needed for the same reason, some of these vpcs will be on the storage drives so would like better speeds. @theblue, I don't really need a...

I'll have to do a bit more research on Mobo's I guess :), thanks for the advice on that from everyone. As to the used comment above, that's one area I'd rather spend a little more on new and have peace of mind.

thank you, I've switched that out. Still curious to know "why" you aren't fond of the other one though. I'm going to stick with a higer watt PSU for expandability in the future, as I will most likely be adding more drives. As to not using SSHD, most of the research I've done doesn't really...

Why?...a little more reason would be helpful :) I was originally looking at this one, but wasn't sure if I really needed to spend this much. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371065

So...I have a bad habit of going with the best things that I can find...which turns a new PC build into a $2500 shopping cart. While I can afford this, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to check out my wishlist and see if I can save some money by switching things out with cheaper...

Thanks for the response, I've got an Intel though.

I'm just starting the process of learning how to overclock my Laptop (ASUS G60jx). I was reading the first post here, and trying to select the program to use for overclocking my CPU and GPU, but most of the links in the first thread don't work and have not been updating. Anyone mind filling me...
