Going to be getting myself my own computer, and I'm not that great on choosing what is good for a Gaming PC. I have a budget of $1200 and this is only for the computer itself, not including keyboard, mouse and etc. Any suggestions?

something like
i7
16 GB
2TB hard drive and 120 SSD
2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX660
or even better things idk
Enflamable (01-05-2013),sy37 (01-05-2013)
i5 3570k
Some generic z77 board like asrock extreme4 z77
8GB of RAM
Nvidia GTX 670
Samsung 840 128GB SSD
1~2TB Drive
Probably a Corsair H60 Watercooler
Case is your choice, but it's preferred to have a full tower one.
And CD drive is just any 20 dollar one, it will do.
@Flying Magical Ponies prices are different everywhere so you cant really know it
You dont need 16gb of ram plus you dont need an i7 either.
Fast 8gb ram > 16gb random rab
High clock 4 cores > 8 random clock 8 cores (fake)
Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people seem bright until you hear them speak.

I'm lazy as fuck so I won't be posting specs,
but build one yourself
Oh, and since im typing anyway
GTX 680 as a graphics card, GTX 690 is 2x the price, and not even THAT much better
Been looking at the parts above, and been looking at a few gaming computers. One I found in particular seems good but I'm not sure.
The price is about $949.78, but I'm not sure if it's good compared to others.
