I'm basically looking for comments and suggestions.

Overkill. What games do you want to play? Also, get an i5 quadcore, 4/6 gigs of RAM, F3 Spinpoint drive, and a better case. The only underpowered component is the video card. It is good, but with your budget you could do much, much better than a 98ooGTX+.
Aight. I currently have Crysis, and would like to run that at full. Also, is there a better case that's still clear? Because I rather like the idea of a clear case.

How about the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112239&Tpk=PC-K62]PC-K62[/url]? It's mostly clear on the side, so it's somewhat of a compromise. And I like the way it looks.
Lian Li is good, I'd go with them.
Also, most of the reason I went kinda overkill was because I wanted to sort of futureproof my desktop, if you know what I mean.
Use a Samsung Spinpoint F3, best I ever used [editline]12:33PM[/editline] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204[/url] for DVD burn drive if your a dvd/cd burner
So I should use that burner? I saw it, almost added it, and decided against it. And I'm changing to the F3, definitely.
You sure you want to take the clear acrylic case? as i heard in other forums that it scratches really easily. Might think about changing another case.
I'm changing to that Lian Li that I posted earlier.

What else should change?[/QUOTE] Change your processor to the i5 750, the motherboard to the P7P55D-E Pro, and drop to a 2x2gb RAM kit. Use the money saved to get a 5870. [editline]12:30PM[/editline] And maybe think about switching to the hx model of your PSU for better cable management.
I wish I could find a comparison between the 5870 and 460...
Toms hardware. Besides, its pointless to do that unless you are comparing SLI'd 460s.
[QUOTE=WastedJamacan;23964083]I wish I could find a comparison between the 5870 and 460...[/QUOTE] You won't find them very often because the 5870 is in a different class. Check toms hardware or benchmarkreviews though, they might have something.
