I do a ton of online gaming and I recently built a new computer about 3 months ago. Here is my specs: (Sorry I use NeweggBusiness / it's my work account)

CPU: i7-2600k Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16819115070

Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16813131703

Primary Hard drive: Crucial RealSSD C300 64gig
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16820148357

Secondary Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16822136533

RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (bought 2) 16GB
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16820145315

Graphics Card: ASUS ENGTX570 (HUGE CARD)
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...Tpk=asus%20570

Sound Card:Creative PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium (I hate onboard sound) (Got it for $99.00)
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16829102021

CD/DVD Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16827135204

PowerSupply: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W
http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Produc...82E16817152035

Case: Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

I understand I could of went overboard on some of the components but, I do this for a living and it's FUN!. Plus I got some good discounts on a lot of them. Unfortunately hard drives jumped up about 110% in price over the last 2 months.

I spent around $800.00 (without video card) so about $1100.00 total on everything. I spent $64.00 on my secondary hard drive that is now $239.00 (that shows how the prices have jumped)

7.6 out of 7.9 I still need to overclock the CPU a bit about the only thing that could make it a bit higher.

Here is what Battle.net has my system specs as:

I play games like World of Warcraft, Quake Live, Starcraft 2, Call of Duty MW3, Skyrim (Game looks amazing on full settings), Mass Effect Series, F1 2011, now awaiting Diablo 3 and Counter-Strike GO.

If you have any questions let me know, I love doing computer builds. This was around my 5th "personal" build.
