I purchased the bundle just for Dead Space 3, but I still paid over the average.  Looking to give away the rest of the keys to whoever wants them.  Let me know and I'll send them through PM.

Edit: Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box and Sims 3 have been taken.

Can I have the key for BF3 please ? Thanks.

You say you'd recommend the AsRock instead of the Gigabyte one but you didnt say why, as I had asked.
Also, why would I want a SSD when they are so more ridiculously expensive than the SATA drives, not to mention they dont have much space on them for the price?


RE4WiiGirl

The ASRock Z77 Extreme is much cheaper and just as good as the Gigabyte ($135 vs $210 at Newegg) and it has an eSata port that can be convenient.



Again, can you please specify why a different CPU than the one ive chosen, why is the 3570k better?
And same with the Antec case whats bad about it?

RE4WiiGirl

The 3570K is slightly faster than the 2500K and it has support for PCIe 3.0 (no PCIe 3.0 with the 2500K). And it's only $10 more. And don't listen to him about the Antec 302 case. I have that case and I like it. It's roomy, has good cable management, nice tooless design, good ventilation, front USB 3.0 ports, bottom air filter, looks good, etc.

The Antec 302 case is $40 cheaper than the 900. The 900 doesn't have a filter for the front fans.

For the RAM, G.Skill is a good brand and go with 2x4 GB so it can perform in dual channel mode.

For the video card I would get the Radeon 7870, it costs around $210-220. It's a fast card so your PC will be more future proof.

You might want to purchase a CPU heatsink such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus or Evo because the heatsink that's included with the i5-3570K is crap.

If I were you I would wait for Sea Islands HD88XX to come out in Q1 2013. But if you must upgrade now, I suggest a single 7870 because it has a better tessellation unit and you wouldn't have to keep track of Crossfire profiles.
