A 650 TI will save you requiring a PSU with 2 six-pin PCI-express connectors.

What KC said is true.
Plus, why get an LGA 1155 socket Mobo and CPU when the new Haswells were just released? (For almost the same price)

I would suggest that you go with a GTX 660 and an i5 processor for gaming.
Just my two cents. :D[/quote]

Thanks for the advice :) but I don't think :? I will be able to build a desktop anytime soon but until then my laptop is good enough it does everything I want it to do :)
If I do build a desktop it will probably have a Haswell processor I just couldn't find any motherboards that supported them on BestBuy's website :P
This computer would be mainly used for Internet browsing, HD video editing/rendering/playback, Photoshop, Blu-Ray playback, and Google SketchUp (needs OpenGl 1.5 compatible GPU 256mb minimum 512+ recommended and works best with Nvidia GPU's) so it does not need extremely high end graphics probably just mid-range and that card was one of the the only two Nvidia cards that Best Buy had on their website

My dream computer would be apple note book. Nothing on earth can match up to apple in all ways. Be it look, efficiency, style anything.
