I'm trying to be a good husband and want to buy my wife a computer for her birthday. She uses the computer for general internet surfing and LOTS of gaming. We mainly play MMO's but every once in a while she'll play something different. I've been reading up but it's always nice to get a second set of eyes on something before pulling the trigger. Any input is greatly appreciated and my wife will appreciate it even more :)

Hi teaiewold... That is a real nice build. The gtx 770 will play great on 23" 1920x 1080 or less monitor with no problem. I like the reliability and performance of the a Hyper 212.
It all makes sense to me. Congrats.

The PSU is a bit overkill for it but I don't know if the price difference is significant enough to bother dropping it down to 600W.
