Here's mine: Case: Raidmax Blackstorm Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth Z77 CPU: Intel i5 3570K CPU fan: Cooler Master Vortex GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 670 2GB SSD: 2X Crucial M4 256GB Monitors: ASUS VS238 Samsung T22B250 Probably should have got the i7 3770K
i7 chips are not worth the premium unless you are using the computer for rendering or mass computations of some sort. The high end i5's are by far the best gaming chips available especially when consider the overclocking headroom.
My machine is a couple years old, but still kicks the pants off of most games out there. Never have to turn off the highest settings, though some newer things need the antialiasing and other dumb stuff shut off.
