I'll start by saying that I'm new to building a computer, and I know nobody that has any experience in the field who could tutor me. I've spent some time reading various articles and forums, giving me an idea of what to shoot for.
My interests in building my own system is full optimization, saving a few bucks, and mostly for the experience and the knowledge of how it all comes together.
What I desire out of my machine is purely gaming. OC'ing is not something I am currently interested in, but something I would like to learn down the road. Graphics are important to me, and would like to run modern games on near ultra settings without even a hiccup. Bottle-necking is a major concern of mine, and I expect some revision to my component list to prevent this. I am also a bit of an audiophile, and I wonder if it would be worth it to add a soundcard to my list of components simply to listen to media at its full potential.
Well here's my base list. My price range is $700-1500, and I am open to ANY suggestions.
