It's like, 2000 dollars, which in my mind isn't much compared to what i thought i was spending >.<
I'm going to wait until christmas for the SSD.

depends on your budget theres a heap of nice cases out there from $100-$250 for nice airflow and cable management ( personaly i like the fractal arc mid ) mid range case with really nice features and airflow. approx $140 case

Change the CPU to the 2500K.

Change the GPU to the 570.

Use the extra money to buy a SSD.

CHange the HDD to a Spinpoint.

But all in all, wait for Kyri or Karma to post roflmao.

What's the difference between 2600/2500?

Why 570 ?

And i'll be getting a SSD in a couple of months C:

DO NOT get that HDD you have in your listing...... green's are utter shit..... either get a spinpoint as Hydrah said or a hitachi deskstar 2tb would be even better.... both are pretty good and very cheap

1) Not much difference, just about $100 more though.
2)You don't need a full 580. 570 is a lot cheaper and will still provide the performance that you need.
