    Thoughts on this build?

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V Pro LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 SLI 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 DisplayPort USB3.0 Motherboard

    It's about 750 bucks, I'm not going to buy all of them at a time, maybe 3 at a time for the cheaper ones.

    I'm going to carry over some stuff from my current computer to reduce costs. My current one is from 2007, but now it seems crappy compared to ones in 2012..

    I bought a Radeon HD6850 and Corsair 600x or something a while ago, I'm going to carry over those parts to reduce costs.

    I don't know any Newegg stores around here.
    NCIX is fairly close to where I live.

    Removed because people can't read between the lines and have no assumption skills when it comes to looking at the context.

    Oh god I couldn't agree with you more. Immediately thought

    @OP
    I think you should pirate Windows 7 and save a hundred and buy a boot SSD. Trust me, its worth it. Went from around 1:15 boot to around 14 seconds boot.

    Everyone was too hung up on his choice of retailer and failed to see that he has an AMD motherboard and an Intel CPU

    Use this motherboard instead

    ASRock Z77 EXTREME6 ATX LGA1155 DDR3 CrossFireX 3PCI-E16 1PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 DP USB3.0 Motherboard - ASRock - Z77 Extreme6

    or this

    ASUS P8Z77-V Pro LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 SLI 3PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 DisplayPort USB3.0 Motherboard - ASUS - P8Z77-V Pro

    And are you planning on overclocking?

    Where's your graphics card?
    Plus save money by cracking Windows 7.
    If you're gonna OC that Ivy Bridge I recommend a different cooler.

    Is a 120Gb SSD enough? What will happen if Microsoft does something about the pirating? Sorry, on mobile, will post more tomorrow. Graphics card is a and radeon hd 6850 and psu is corsair 600 watts. I don't think I will over lock it. Will google what pros and cons are tomorrow, thunder storm possible coming to Vancouver and don't want my computer to short out like my old one..

    Yes and there's also a 2TB HDD there as well.
    Plus Microsoft are smart, they don't do shit when you pirate except tell you to buy.
    My IT teacher said that people who torrent Windows are used to Microsoft products and can't use anything else.
    When the people who torrent go to a job, their employers would have to buy Windows for them.

    I bought gfx card and psu in March or so, 150 bucks total. Sound card,wifi card,etc. is going to be from my current computer unless they aren't compatible with new things.
