Me neither 'cause I can't afford it. This is for those who wanna play the latest games or are doing rendering and stuff and can afford it. :D

pre built suggestion, I like to window broswe alot.
 
This kind of PC would run games on highest resolutions for at least 5 years:D
 
Looks very similar to my computer and about the same price. Yes, it is overkill but that's how I like it.
 
My recommendation is build this wishlist now.

Wait for next year... DDR4.

But if you can... Why not go with sandy bridge six core?

Ohhh I see... Most your money is in that moniter. The gamer goes for the 2ms ;]

I'm building a system today too on newegg and I'm like... Wait... My system has just about everything but a moniter... About the same price... More RAM, more SSD, Sandy Bridge Extreme ed and pretty much Gold Level enthusiast from HardOCP... I intend to overclock though w/ a custom watercooling setup. So, I'll be spending more than just the 2.500 I'm at now.

You have a nice list of components. I would get a larger power source than 750watts. I would recommend 1000+watts.
 
I think this can run Metro 2033 for an average of 35fps ultra high settings at maximum resolution. :D
 
Buy a Ps3 and Xbox - $600 , Play the Best games On HD TV.
