dnt get i7 if u want gamig.....just get i5 with 460 gtx (dnt waste money on physx dedicated card, spend it on something else)......
for 1080p this should be good
i5-760
gtx460 calibre (will OC great) from iamextreme.net and will serve u really well for agood amout of time
500gb seagate 7200.12
2gbx2 cosair value ram 1333mhz
usp100 case (i say best for the price)
that should make 54k rpz......u can get p7h55dm pro with a xigmatec 500 or 600watt and this rig should serve u quite well for a good amount of time and later u will only need to update the gpu.....no need to waste money......this should make a total of 70k.....
later u can adda cpu cooler and OC the cpu when needed

The configuration is good but you should have gone for Asus mobo P7P55D.
Is 4 GB on one Stick?
How much you spent for all these components?

Answer the following:

The reso you'd be playing on
How long you want the setup to last (I mean still be able to play games at acceptable frame rates)
Would you compromise on lowering the graphics details a bit
Do you want to run games with DX 11 specific settings activated or would you be good enough with DX 10

Processor won't matter as much as the GPU.

Yar you won't have a problem with bottlenecking. Just over clock it while you are playing games to 3.8 GHz to 4.0 GHz. Cooler Master PSU's suck and buying those are a huge mistake. Get a Xigmatek. The specs you have now are awesome. :D

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
