Ok if you are looking to cut corners here is some advice.

First off you can do a usb install (if you are savy enough) still buy the windows key but you could ditch the DVD drive.

Are you building a rig to play league or next gen games? Cause you are going over kill with the setup for league.

You could in theory cut in half everything you are buying (spec wise) and get 60fps locked.(for league). its all about the purpose of the machine.

Thanks for the response.. mainly i will play LOL but i also like to get some starcraft going. the other thing is i work in real estate so i will be using it for work as well, and finally another main purpose is my wife takes A LOT of pictures and needs to store them and upload them to the softball teams homepage (about 250 pictures a week). then the rest would be small things here and there.
