@ Guyver

I'll keep that in mind. Stuff came up so I'm only gonna end up getting the guts of the PC at the moment...Mobo/CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD. The rest of it's gonna have to wait till Probably late Jan/Early Feb. Most of that list has changed anyhow lol. The only things that haven't is the RAM, HD, and BR player.

Agreed. Looks like a nice build man.

Damn. I wouldn't mind some of that action.

@ Glitch and AetheLove, it's part of the intel retailedge program that i'm a part of.

as you can see, the deals were ridiculous for this year's holiday deal but with what i do, it really wouldn't have been too much of an upgrade from my 2500k so i decided to gift it to someone else so it wouldn't go to waste

Figured it was something like that. Thanks for the response. Glad to hear you passed it on to a friend.

If you hear of anyone else letting it go to waste, you'll have no shortage of people here who would be happy to help. :)

Cheers,
