Changed:

- Cheaper SSD
- Cheaper HDD with same specs
- Slightly lesser model Corsair PSU
- No need for a $90 Best-in-Class CPU Cooler when I won't be pushing extreme overclocking limits
- No need for top of the line $450 GPU, got the same exact one Joe bought, can always Crossfire later if needed, it was much cheaper than a 560ti
- No need for Blu Ray, get that for the TV when I have a house
- No need for hipster keyless version of keyboard, prefer lights
- Lower profile RAM to ensure clearance for cooler
- Z77 Motherboard for future + the Z68 Extreme7 was sold out + it was cheaper
- Got a much cheaper case with less features, but really, do I need that shit?  Probably not.


Total with Shipping/Taxes = $1,726.82
Free Games = Dirt 3 & Rage
Free 1 Year Extended Warranty on CPU

Just FYI, take a look at: http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/

They do some of the nicest cases I've seen. I'm working on a new build myself and can't choose between the Shinobi XL or the Raider. Oh and of course Bitfenix are renowned for their fucking awesome cooling fans.

Also I'd opt for this motherboard over your current:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131821

It's slightly pricier but you get one of the best mobo's on the market AND a 5 year warranty. Oh and let's face it, the sabertooth board looks sexy.

just my opinion but you dont need z77 at all. you wont be utilizing any of the additional features. unless ofc you plan on keeping this mobo for future ivy bridge/sli upgrades

One of my friends was saying how ssds can lose data over the course of time. Is this true?

they are volatile memory so you might have data loss out of the cache or something if you lose power suddenly

Theoretically yes since the memory used in a SSD is similar to that used in a USB flash drive. It's essentially just flash memory. With that said I haven't heard any of these problems happening with any of the new-gen models. OCZ had a bad problem with them a while ago but they reportedly fixed the issue. Most of the new ones have protections against it happening.

Also to just expand on what someone else said, SSD's should be used for OS/programs. The rest of your storage (media etc) should be stored on a hard disk drive.

^^

If you're worried about filling it up fast then do what I did when I had a smaller ssd. Stick the OS/general windows apps(skype/spotify/whatever you use) on there. Then partition your hdd and store your steam games on that but keep the most commonly used games on the ssd.
