Budget:
$2500ish

I have the monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. Only need the PC.

Expectations:
Play MMO Rift at max settings @ 1920x1080
-Maybe Crysis etc.

Usage:
100% gaming

Special Needs:
I would like the corsair 700D chasis and stick with one video card. With the D14 cooler, can this be overclocked to stage 2 safely? I also like Corsair as a brand as I've had them in other systems with great success. However, if there are better options I'm open to suggestion.

Saved Ticket #:
489124

Any comments would be appreciated.

This is essentially a mirror of the build recommendation that I got from DST, with the minor exception of the GPU, which he recommended I went with the 560 Ti instead of the 570, which I originally thought was best.

Otherwise, the build recommended looks strong from here.
