I'd switch memory, get something a bit better than 1600MHz. The Intel chip can handle it and will benefit from it. This is $5 cheaper:

Also, that PSU isn't that great, especially for the price. It's Corsair's low end and you'll regret getting it down the road. Check this guy out for the same price:

5 year warranty, better efficiency and it will probably hold it's output power longer than the CX series.

I'd like to suggest a better hard drive but there's not much wrong with the Blue if it's the best you can afford. Of course, a Black or SSD would be better but again, it's about cost and demand for capacity which are things only you know.

Bump down the i7 and get a better GPU. Games are way more dependent on the GPU and the i5 3570K easily maxes any game on the market. It'd be stupid to buy a 3770K while settling for a measly GTX 660. Go for at least a 660Ti, or 7950 (which is the better performing card).
Not to mention Nvidia is currently releasing their 7xx GPUs so I'd hold off for a bit to see how it will change prices.

noted killa. The only reason im going i7 is because microcenter has a good deal on it. Its pretty much the same price as most of the 3.6 ghz i5's. 660 Ti is alot more expensive. Thats the only reason i didint go Ti there. But I see what your saying.

I was gunna grab a small SSD too for the OS and some high end games. There so expensive. but i can squeeze a 100gig one in probably. I have steady income these days so no big deal really.

Any suggestions in that department? i feel like there mostly the same

The Crucial M4 is suggested a lot. I think it's $130 for a 128gb one. Intel makes some good SSDs as well. But the GPU should come first, it's the most important component when it comes to gaming so if an SSD is going to keep you at a GTX 660, you should go without it and get a better GPU.

I'd definitely suggest a 7950 over a 660Ti. It's the same price, has a bigger memory bandwidth, more memory, and outperforms the 660Ti in most game benchmarks.

Save the $$ on the SSD unless you go Intel or Samsung 840 PRO. The Crucial M4's are getting pretty old now and have easily 1/4 the write speed of the Samsungs.

I have no comments on Intel CPU's and modern GPU's.

Looking further into it, you're right. I was just recalling stuff from the last time I was looking into getting one. I don't stay up to date on SSDs like I do on CPUs and GPUs.

Don't get the regular 840 series Samsung SSD. It's slower speed and lower quality memory chips. You only want the PRO version. Low-end SSD's aren't worth the bother IMO, you're better off getting a platter drive with better reliability and more storage.

Believe they do, ask anyone who have one or check online tests.

i personally do not condone ghosting. However it can be amusing. You must know your audience though. in a coop map on 2.8.5 to help others learn the map perhaps. as fun and games among/against Clan members maybe. on unsuspecting victims. NO. In an Honor Server Definately not.

time of day dictates who will be online. Also players prefer to play on a server that offers the best "Ping" Admin must be present to change map. Want more options? download and install 2.8.5 into a diffent directory as well. you can find files and links necessary here. https://fallen-ones.net/downloads.php

who noobs paly pipeline all F time ? eny other maps?
({STAR})Spkenny2 3D [ASSIST]
MackBeach what exactly are you acusing LGC of? Ghosting using Discord? As you stated there are other servers to play within. including many COOP maps that you can play alone on version 2.8.5 Another option is rent your own server and only allow those who you wish within it, but I do not see how that would resolve anything
({STAR})Spkenny2 3D [ASSIST]
Please explain to me how exactly that is instigating. Whomever rents the server has every right to allow, kick or ban any person from to playing within the server that they rent. It is a privledge not a right. However, as part of a social community it is in the interest of the parties involved to treat people fairly and with respect. We obviously have missed that point here. So rather than resort to the juvinile school yard behaviour, how about offering a suggestion for resolution. Rather than a less than witty retort.
