MSI Z77A-G45 Mobo 153.99
Tower case (black) 44.99
Muskin Chronos 120 GB 2.5IN SATA3 Sandforce 2281 SSD 99.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200 500 GB 3.5IN 16 MBCache SATA3 HDD 69.99 (might change this to 1TB)
Windows 7 ... 97.99 (guess I can get pirated?)
DRW-24B1ST 24x SATA DVD Writer 19.99
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600 44.79
Corsair TX650 V2 650W ATX 12V Single rail 54A Power supply 79.99
GeForce GTX 550 Ti OC 950 MHZ 4300 MHZ 1GB GDDR5 129.99
Total comes to 1139.25 after installation/taxes etc.

Intel Core i5-3450 3.10 GHZ 6 MB 209.99
AsRock Z77 Pro3 Mobo 144.99
GeForce GTX 550 Ti SC 1GB 119.99
Seatgate 1TB Barracuda 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 99.99
Corsair TX650M 650W PSU (modular) 91.24
ASUS 24x DVDRW SATA 18.74
MS Windows 7 92.49
Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Tower Case 59.99
Set up = 40.00
Total 1170.57

What do you guys think is a better deal.. everythings' already been price matched roughly on the second option (which is why windows 7 is cheaper etc.). Anything you guys would swap out for better / cheaper parts that still perform well?

Again.. not a hardcore gamer.. just want something that will last a couple years .. D3 , maybe some FPS's etc.

Thanks!
