How is this gaming build?

I approve. It is a pretty wicked build (though based on what you are showing me with the IBuyPower stuff you are going to overspend big time). My only thoughts are the video card is a bit under powered for rig of that kind. You should be running a GTX 570 or GTX 580 with a system that fancy. Don't get me wrong the GTX 560 TI is a fantastic card. I just feel like with all that, you should blow it out of the water.

Looks good to me. The 560 is a good graphics card, should play most modern games on highest settings and you're giving yourself room to use SLI in future if you want more GPU power. The CPU (the i7) is one of the best CPUs you can get in the price range at the moment as well. Only thing I would say is if you're going to spend all that money on the system you may as well bump up the mouse/keyboard too :)

You can save some money on a few items and put it towards a better graphics card. You don't need an 850W power supply for a single graphics card, but maybe you're planning to add more later which would justify it. You don't really need a sound card, the onboard sound built into today's motherboards is good quality and you're unlikely to notice much difference, you can always add one later on if you like. You have both a 64GB SSD and a 120GB SSD drive listed, is this necessary or could you lose the 64 gig drive? If so then you could have a 2TB HDD instead with the money saved. Overall it's a nice machine but you've only chosen a mid range graphics card. When it comes to gaming the graphics card is the most important component, money spent here will make more difference than anywhere else.

This is one of the best gaming systems to date. Just a tip though... You don't have to purchase the "professional wiring for all cables yada yada yada"... They already include professional wire management without that additional add on. They hope you click on that you want to add it for an additional cost, but really, they do it even if you don't add it on... just a thought for you. I've purchased some computers through them and through cyberpowerpc.com too and I know this is a fact.

A real goer if you knock out 4 gigs RAM, you will not need more, read all about it. http://www.filesonic.com/file/2271117374I dont know why people are saying getting more than 4gb is good. If any one can name me a game which will take your total ram use above about 3gb i will eat my computer. Even Crysis + a dvd + the internet running doesnt take my PCs ram usage above 3gb. (try running games and pressing ctrl alt del and going to the performance tab. See how much ram is actually being used by games, you will be surprised) 4gb is a good amount as it is more than you need but ram comes in 1gb or 2gb sticks and most computers have 2 or 4 ram slots so it adds up nicely. Also look very carefully at what graphics card you are buying, about 80% of a games performance is dependant on the graphics card in my opinion. http://lifehacker.com/5415355/do-you-really-need-more-than-4gb-of-ram http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/how-much-ram-do-i-need--721332 http://www.crucial.com/support/howmuch.aspx

I'm jealous >:{ Yes it is very good, nice pick on cpu for gaming and video editing in case you feel that you are not getting the correct frames for a game try turning off hyperthreading to see if that makes a difference

We call this in my world, Electronic-Erotica

Yes
