Just in case anybody is reading/has been reading this thread and is getting the urge to build a new computer, but looking to save some money check this out:
The AMD FX-8320 processor is on sale for only $99.99 (in-store only) at Microcenter...Seriously..$99.99. I know there are a bunch of anti-AMD people out there, but honestly, this processor is an absolute monster in all reality, and for that price, it's unbeatable. Also, it has tons of overclocking headroom.

I personally have the 8350 and it has been sheer bliss for me. Nowhere near as hot as I expected, and performs astronomically better in games than what is said on many websites.
