Hi monstersuks,

Great start gfor a gaming build, but some parts are missing. Case, Optical drive, Operating System, also may be able to tweak the selection of the GPU.

What is your Budget?
What monitor will you be using?
What parts can you reuse in = the new system, mouse/keyboard/speakers/external devices?
