    I'd actually check the builds of the month, they're always nicely chosen systems

    Scroll down and look at the unicorn system, for $2500, you can probably replace the 7970 OC with a GTX 670, 680 or even a GTX 690 (if you can find it anywhere in stock) and still not hit the limit.

    You wont be able to tell the difference between a $1,800 build and a $2,500. The performance increase that those $700 gives you is minimal. You're better off getting a cheaper system and saving your money for something else. Or if you feel that you HAVE to spend $2,500 then give the rest of the cash to charity and then you can brag about having $2,500 system.

    Extra $700 is an extra monitor or two, extra hard drive space, maybe an extra Blue Ray burner, ect, ect, ect.

    Please give us something more to go on. Where are you from? What games do you play?

    I understand you might want to spend $2500 because you think it is best but in reality you could probably spend $1200 and get exactly what you are looking for.

    To be honest besides the budget we don't really know enough to really suggest anything like what you have right there.

    The i7-3770K is wasted money if the main purpose is gaming.

    2133MHz RAM is not needed as the performance gain is minimal.

    850/60W PSU is overkill, you could run triple GTX680 on it.

    Cooler Master case with a large budget is "meh" but I guess it comes down to personal taste/preference.

    We should probably see what OP wants first, if it could provide a little more information other than just the budget?
