Hello there, I'm about to come into some cash that I plan on using to build a gaming PC. I'll be receiving it in two lumps so for this first bit I plan on spending 1500-1700 USD to get all of the essential parts and have it up and running untill I add in my other video cards (1-2 more 680s) in the spring. As it stands now the total (Newegg only, will be shopping around at time of purchase) is 1580 USD.
Edit: Based on some advice by Essence and other people I know I've revised the build
