Okay, you guys have talked me into getting a Corsair power supply. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Let's see, my list will now look something like this cpu - either the i7 2600k or the i5 3570k depending on my budget [$310 or $240] motherboard - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 [$130] hard drive - I'll use my current hard drive for the time being ram - Corsair Vengence [$50] dvd drive - I'll just use the one in my current PC graphics card - GeForce GTX 560 Ti [$250] power supply - Corsair CX 500 [$60] fans - I have plenty of those case - how does the To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater.

As others have mentioned if you're going to splurge somewhere do it on your gpu rather than cpu as it typically has the larger effect on gaming performance, especially at high resolutions. So I'd advise a i5-2500 cpu but use the savings for a bump up in gpu to a GeForce GTX 570.

I agree that it's better money spent on a higher end graphics card over a processor.

Yea, the the i5 is more than good enough. It looks pretty awesome though.
