The G110 sucks as it's a stupidly overpriced rubber-dome board. If you want to spend less, the Microsoft Sidewinder X4 is the highest-end rubber-dome board I can recommend. On Novatech the QPad MK-50 is priced well. MX Red switches are great for gaming.

Don't sweat it, I bought a Macbook Pro, a Razer Mamba (mind you I got it half off), and a Logitech G15 not that long ago! I even have a very questionable Logitech G9X right now that I'm trying to unload.

Thank you for the help guys. This is some proof you arent wasting your time doing builds.

(:

I get paid tomorrow, and I think I'm gonna pickup an i5 2500k and a corsair h60 for overclocking. (:

I think I may have maybe 40 extra dollars. Should I save it or pickup maybe a refurb hdd or what? (:

My current hdd is only a 120gb (Not a SSD, either, lol)

Edit: Is my ram also in the right slots? Lol. I didnt know if they shoulda been directly beside each other or matching colors or what. I read the manual and it show both, so i dunno.

Very nice.

Ditch the H60 for a Hyper 212 since it's the same performance for a fraction of the price.

Buying a refurbished HDD is just asking for trouble. Spend the money you saved by going with a Hyper 212 for a brand new HDD like a 500gb Seagate for example.

@Generation

I thought about it, but was wondering if I would still get the same temperatures? I have a Hyper 212 on current computer, and it runs @ 55c under load. (Its an intel pentium D, which should run hotter no?)

I was gonna go with an H60 because I've never watercooler before and its an AIO kit, plus I would be able to OC the hell out of the i5 with it.

I dont want a refurb HDD, but a bigger one perferrably. I would also need a wireless adapter so I can play from my room.

I'm hoping my next paycheck I can get an xfx radeon hd 7770. I dont do too much gaming, but I want to be able to run guild wars 2 on the max settings, and this card seems like it should do the trick.

Watercooling is to high maintenance, go with the Hyper 212, even if the temps are a couple of degrees higher it's worth it. You can easily get a 4.5ghz OC with an i5 and a Hyper 212.

You'd get the exact if not better temperatures.

There's no H60 there, but you can see how close the Hyper 212 comes to the more expensive H70.

A wireless PCI card will run you $20 and a 1TB HDD would run you around $80.

Closed loop water cooling kits simply suck for what you're paying.
