Hi, I had another thread I recently posted with a different build but was more about upgrade-ability and so I just threw that out the window and came up with something different for around the same price. I simply now just don't want to upgrade my CPU for at least 2-3 years or video card. I plan to try OCing the i5 to 3.5-3.8ghz if that is safe once I read up more about overclocking the i5. This PC is used mostly for GAMING. What do you think?

Total with shipping and after rebates, it adds up to just about $950.00. How is this setup from a cost/value basis? Also, I would like to point out the PSU probably wont be good for the current case listed as the case has the PSU on the bottom. The case looks great with its huge fans perfect for airflow and cooling if I OC.
Thanks
