	Hi TheChuloinator......... That's a good build and will game real nice, but for about the same money minus the MS Office, I would go ODE level1. It has a better case with better airflow, the gtx670 which is about 10-20% better gaming over the 660Ti , larger HDD and the A50 cpu cooler for tops in dependability. If you don't like the ODE's case then I would at least change the case in your build to the 500R. Either your build or my suggestions will give you a nice gaming rig. Good Luck.

	Thanks for the advice, I think I'll go with the ODE level 1.
