Hello Everyone...
I am building a Gaming computer for my Son's as they want to play games like Crysis 2, Metro 2033 and Deadspace...
Approximate Purchase Date: Today or Tomorrow

Additional Comments: I just want something that will run highend games such as Metro 2033 & Crysis 2 at high to max settings! Also I am a little concerned about the mobo, CPU, Ram as well as it overheating! I was told that it would be best to change the CPU to an I7-2500k and to get another Mobo... What should I get instead?
Looking forward to your suggestions!
Thank you!
