Hey!
So I'm finally at the point where I can invest in a new gaming rig (something I haven't done in some 10 years, felt like a complete noob learning about all the new stuff haha) and since I was completely out of the market for that long I'd like some feedback on the parts I've chosen, along with advice on what to change etc.
This computer will be used exclusively for gaming at 1920x1080 with some mild overclocking and some streaming here and there, so please make your suggestions based on that, I'm not at all concerned with performance outside gaming.

Think that's it, let me know if I missed something!
I *could* go a bit over the budget if that meant a significant difference but I'd like to keep it around these lines (which hurts enough as it is T_T).
I'll probably end up waiting for haswell and get the "new" 3570k along with ASUS' z87 version for a motherboard, everything else is probably staying the same (save any changes made through this thread). Thanks in advance for any help provided
