other than having an expensive case, and a power supply overrated by about 200 W, looks good

I just really like the case.
I might look for something cheaper though. The more money left over, the more money I have for other things.
What do you reccomend for the power supply?

its your choice on the brand, but you shouldn't need more than 600 W. I'm gonna get a 550, but I won't even need that

Deacon besides MC and Gmod/Source games do you play? A 6770 is good enough for most things.

I don't. But I'd like to, hence the large step-up.

Must things these days are compatible

Main thing is RAM + Mainboard

Check the mainboard's page and search for your RAM's model number in their "support modules" list

apart from that everything is looking great

I recently built my own system for about $1000. I would definitely recomment the i5 2500k, it's great! I've easily got it to 4.2Ghz under a Hyper 212+.
Also, if you're going to get a 560 ti, the MSI Hawk edition is the best. Here's the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127578

For a mid-end computer ($600's?)

4GB of RAM
CPU = Intel Core i3 or AMD Phenom 925 (or 955, not sure)
GPU = GTX 460 or Radeon 6850


hard drives, well they're in the shitter now because of the flooding in thai, but normally you could get a 7200RPM 1TB hard drive for $60

Oh yeah, should have said the 6770 for "mid range"

955 is really nice, but I have a Phenom 2 X4 810 :(.
