What's your budget on this machine?

You'll get plenty of suggestions but if you include a budget many of the knowledgeable people around here will help you spend that the absolute best they can.
 
whats your budget? are you planning on getting a 2011 socket?


for a video card if i had the cash i would go for 2-3 7970s

my view point on case is looks are the most important to me, but not to others some times
