I might as well seeing as this is a sort of a rite of passage. I'm looking to update my GPUs in the spring to something that can handle an Nvidia Surround setup better with maximum settings applied. They're good for now, but I've had to dial some settings back lately.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz

Also ordered a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse from Microsoft since this computer is currently connected to my TV and I use it across the room.
I opted out of getting a dedicated GPU because my display is only capable of resolutions up to 1360x768 (Dynex 34" TV) & because I wanted to see what the integrated GPU on the 6800k was capable of. So far I am impressed.
If you have to get it from that website, go with the ASRock 990FX Extreme3. It's only $10 more and you get better PCI-E bandwidth if you ever decide to go with a multi GPU config.
This is my Xeon E3-1230V3 build I did a few months ago. I heard recently on The Tek that they were suggesting this CPU as an alternative, so I thought I would share this.
Hey out there, first time building and before I even go out and buy parts, on a pretty tight budget, I wanted to know of this set up would even work...
