bigger SSD and maybe a lot higher end gpu like a 680 (or a 690 :O)  then u may be getting into beast territory. also i wouldnt build it piece by piece, save up money and buy all the pieces at once

 

if u want some more ideas u can try checking out this "no budget pc build" forum i made a while back http://teksyndicate.com/forum/general-discussion/no-budget-pc-wat-would-u-build/123929

Well... what are you doing with the system? If you are gaming switch to an i5 (or keep the i7) and get a faster GPU like a 7950 or GTX 670.

Yes, it's going to be used for gaming. Thanks for your advice guys, I'm definatly going to upgrade the video.

I recently asked for help on here and was going to get a GeForce 670 but was convinced to go with a Saphhire Radeon 7970 instead because of benchmarks and temps. Keep in mind that the Radeon will need a bit more power so make sure your PSU is up to the task.

you could get a evga gtx 670ftw their about $20 (i think) more than a standard 670 and they out perform the gtx 680 in quite a few games, also they have the gtx 680 pcb and stock cooler
