PNY GTX 660 ti 2GB (Lifetime Warranty)
Inwin 750w PSU
8GB Patriot 1600 MHz DDR3
1TB Western Digital 5,400 RPM
500GB Toshiba (old laptop hdd)
MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard
NZXT Phantom 410 (white) Case
4 Case Fans (2 LED)
Also, currently using a 19" Vizio 1080p 60Hz TV as my monitor until I can buy my gaming monitor.
Standard Dell keyboard, and a wireless Logitech mouse.

You may think I'm being very critical here, well, I am. However, as long as you enjoy your computer gaming experience, you can leave everything as is!
PNY 660 Ti -1
Inwin PSU -5
Slow WD HDD -2
For what it is, I would rather go with a 7870 than a 660 Ti.
Inwin PSU isn't of any quality that I would trust, it is overpriced, and is overkill wattage-wise. You should always get the best quality PSUs with the appropriate wattage.
If you're going to buy a standard HDD, get a fast one at the very least, like a WD Caviar Black.

I have a budget, and for the price I payed for the PSU, I wouldn't complain, they are a new company, and I haven't heard any complaints about them yet, so as far as I know, they are good. As far as the HDD went, It was either a 500gb 7200 rpm, or a 1tb 5400 rpm, and even though the 1tb is 5400, they are about the same speed, if not faster. I'm not really concerned about my hdd speed anyways, I have time, I can wait. Finally, the PNY GTX 660 ti was the card i've been set on for a while now, especially since PNY is one of the oldest companies out there.
