Pretty nice, personally prefer Ati over Nvidia but that's me. If you have a little bit more to put down you should definitely invest in a SSD. At least as a boot drive, no fewer than 60 GB's. Your computer will be mind blowingly fast!

You should make sure it's powerful enough to power that beast of a card haha. I'm sure it's at least 550 W though.

Quite a nice build, Better than mine. I only paid like 600 for amd phenom II x6 4GB RAM 1.5 TB hdd with an ati radeon 6870 HD 1GB.

I know i probably could have got it cheaper but i got it pre built

I only spent that much because I realised I had an extra 150 in my PayPal, and that went on the GPU.
And the PSU is 600w, if that's not enough I have a spare 750w.

Thats fine, but I would personally go for a Fractal Design R3 as a case, its give you much more than that cheap case, the R3 has great soundproofing so you wont hear the GTX 680 or any other fans, and I would personally go for the Hyper 212 Evo.

I would get a different case, but I'm over my initial budget.
