I'm on it. You can choose keyboard and mouse, I recommend Logitech K120 and CM Storm Xornet, they're decent cheap peripherals with good quality.

Here comes another 3 grand facebook machine.
NOTE: At the time of this posting, no questions had been answered.
I'm just gonna tell you, trust Randomness. But here's a build that is pretty much the stereotype gaming PC, and also pretty much the highest you'll need to go for gaming (minus water cooling) at 1080p on the highest settings, and it's still WAY overkill, but it's still pretty cheap (relatively).

I'm going to tell you this now, you shouldn't spend that much money on a rig and have a 660. Answer Randomness's questions and we'll help you.
