I am going from a base iMac to this so trust me I am sure anything will seem great, but I do want to be able to play most games on High/Ultra. My friend put this together so I just wanted a second opinion on what people thought of this...
I am mostly a Warcraft/Diablo player but would like to play games like Borderlands/Skyrim at top notch settings.
Are there any disconnects here? Items that could be priced better? Or something you recommend I upgrade to? I am around $900 on this setup, but I really do NOT want to exceed $1000. The Ivy Bridge was actually cheaper than the 2500K Sandy Bridge with a coupon on Newegg.
I am a novice at this, so the overclocking and what not will not make much sense to me. Thanks in advance!
