Needed a new computer as my Sony Vaio has a faulty SSD and won't boot up . I wanted something that would be able to stream SC2 / Street Fighter 4, so this is what I ended up getting:

Intel i7 2600
Asus ENGTX460 Graphics Card
WD 1TB Caviar Blue
Asrock H61M/U3S3 Motherboard
bequiet! Power 4 Deluxe 530W Supply
Cooler Master 430 Black Elite Case

Bought the same exact setup with an i5 for the GF - she needed the upgrade and now has a PC that can also SC2. Both computers were had for 1500.

We're building the PCs right now - hopefully everything works out buttery smooth!

Both totaled 1500us, I imagine mine cost ~850. I'm in Taiwan right now and went with a friend to Taizhong to purchase the parts so I think I got a good deal.

2600 or 2600k? They make both. 2600 on H61 would make perfect sense.

Please tell me you're at least going to OC the 460s?

just 2600, not 2600k, not going to be doing any overclocking as I am not experienced with it and cannot risk a computer meltdown

looks like I'm going to be needing a UPS as well

Well, OCing the GPU is easier than the CPU, and a good deal safer as well. And a 2600 with a 460 just seems a little weird if it isn't OCed a fair bit, unless SC2 is the most graphics intensive game you play.
