If you live by a local Micro Center that is where the bulk rebate/savings can be had (even more so with available cpu+mobo combos). Hope it gives you some ideas, cheers

Ok thats a good build. I will be honest I don't really want Intel unless I get a price thats as good as AMD. Perferably a AMD 7000 series. I want to crossfire in the future(so probably 2 7770's). And I don't need the OS at all.
