If at all possible, I'd go with an i5 2500K or i7 2600K based system.
They're not that much more than the 920/930 or the 940/950 systems and much more powerful.

The essential difference between 2500/2600K is that the i5 has no hyperthreading (logical cores), while the i7 has one for each physical core on the CPU.
If you're primarily gaming, the logical cores don't do much for you and according to some tests actually slow you down slightly unless they're disabled for the game.
But if you're streaming or otherwise multitasking, they can be of use to you.

2500K is about $100 less than 2600K.
The K is slightly more expensive than the non K version.
The K stands for unlocked multipliers, meaning you can very easily overclock the system.
With a cheap aftermarket cooler, you can overclock a fair ways and be quite stable.



I like the video card.
Plenty of ram on it.

Looks like two DVI ports and an HDMI, so three monitors if you want that many.

Plus its a pretty strong card, for other games too.



Not a ton of storage space on the HD.
But Seagate has been dependable, and 7200rpm is decent.

Plus you can easily put in more storage down the line, if you need it.

I'd really consider a 64gb+ SSD, as your gaming folder.
If not now, then in the future as an additional upgrade.
It is a massive increase in your gaming enjoyment.



I too went with Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
No complaints on the OS.

It is much less of a resource hog, than Vista was.

I might consider going Professional, rather than Home Premium.
Only because you can do a virtual Win-XP desktop, if you have a few older titles that won't run on Win7 that you like.
I have a few of these, and have to run them on my older system that is not nearly as nice.
My roommate likes his simple, but totally easy to use and understand the features, graphical editing program that runs on XP but not on Vista/7.
So that is a consideration, but might not matter to you at all.
