I've decided to finally go the route of building a gaming computer for the first time as opposed to buying a prebuilt one. I have all of the parts picked out, but before I order them I'd like to check around a few different sites to see if theres anything people would suggest I change, maybe replace something that will be cheaper yet not have a lot of performance loss. So here it is so far.

The games I'll be playing will be typically shooters, like Crysis and such. Also my budget isn't a huge factor, I'm just trying to keep it below or around $1800.
