Well I am also looking to join the master race this year. Thanks to Psycnet for helping me out over PM and answering all of my dumb, noob questions. Anyways, this build is entirely meant for living room gaming and is going to be connected to my 50" plasma because I'm too cheap to go to 4K and I hate unnecessary upgrades. I also already have a 1 TB external HD, which is good because I was on a budget. Here's what my build looks like. Hoping to get some of the parts for Christmas and birthday in December and then get the build done before the holidays are over. I appreciate any input.
