But basically I just want to make sure that there is no glaring bottlenecking, that I have sufficient parts to play most games (again not necessarily high settings), that the stuff is compatible, and lastly I have a nice power supply, but I would like to know if a 350 watt would work for this. Thank you for any input!

This Bundle seems like a pretty good deal.
I calculated everything base on the price on Newegg.com, it adds up to $900+.

Supposedly the case is enormous, but the reviews on the H100 all talk about problems getting it to fit in some cases. I'm also hoping based on the recommendation here that I'll be able to fit the two 7970's and still have a slot for the sound card. So will it?]]>

EDIT - Man this art book is AMAZING. Oh my gosh, I cannot read further into the book or watch the behind the scenes because it has spoiler stuff in it about the plot. So I am struggling on whether or not I should look at them or watch it.

edit 2 - After an hour and a half I was finally able to log in. I decided to go through and name one of each character, that way I have the names I wanted.

monk - Monk
Barbarian - Rage
Demon Hunter - Devil
Witch Doctor - Daemon
Sorcerer - Sorcerer

Edit again - I found out character names are not unique :-( I will spend my day at work trying to think of the perfect name now.]]>

I have gotten errors from MEMORY_MANAGEMENT to IRQL_ and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and more. I can't figure out anything going on.

I have tried installing windows 3 times. I have updated all the drivers I could think of and still it happens. I have tried a memtest and reseating all the components. Also taking out what isn't used.

Sometimes the computer is fine, other times it can't get past the login screen. Yesterday I played all day, today I can't do anything. I've had the computer a week and a half and can't get anything figured out. It seems to be dumb luck to work.

This is my first build and I'm getting really frustrated. I don't know where to turn anymore. I'm too close to just chucking it off a balcony myself along with it.
