First new build in a long time. GTS 8800 were all the rage the last build i made... Basically, I am looking for a relativly budget build that will last me at least 3 years. I have done some reaserch, but I'm sure im missing things. Im firmly intel and Team green. I know about the recent news on the GTX 970s. The benchmarks are still impressive. I am also just fine with 1080p gaming, but i may want to upgrade to 1440p in the near future. I have mouse, keyboard, monitor and headset. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. This is right at my budget. I really dont want to spend to much more.
