This is the build I've put together and consider buying. I have however, been hearing on other thread posts I've read that I should wait on getting the next gen CPU from Intel and the new 770 graphics card that should be coming out within the next few months. So I may replace the CPU and GPU I have now with the new releases. A bit of feedback on the build itself and some feedback on whether or not the next gen CPU and GPU are worth the wait.
Budget: About $1500 Canadian (Gaming mouse, monitor, keyboard, headset are not considered in this set budget) i.e. $1500 budget on the computer itself
Games: WoW, Fallout, Bioshock, Assassins Creed
