Here is a build that I recently put together. Anything that's not listed in my parts list, I already have. That includes things like an SSD, Hard Drive, Monitor, Mouse & Keyboard, DVD Drive and Non-OEM Windows 7 OS.
My primary goal for this setup is current gen 1080P gaming at 60 FPS with all settings maxed out. I'm also looking to upgrade to a better ASUS VG248QE 144Hz monitor in the future.
Here is the actual build that I put together, based on advice that I received:
