You left out the gamer who owns that and uses a $700 rig

Are you saying im not that gamer?
how? With your rig in sig? What games are you playing that you can hit that high fps?
Nice build rob, thats a very all-round desktop. I assume the OP is looking for a pure gaming desktop though, and that he won't be making too many upgrades, so I cutdown on the cpu and ram a little (those are not important for gaming) to try to provide the best possible graphics card. My build will kick yours' ass in gaming
I also forgot shipping in my last post, and I'm changing a case recommendation:

Made some changes, now it is under budget. This is most kickass system for pure gaming possible at this budget, and is no slouch in general workload either. OP: are you adamant about being absolutely under $700? For just $5 more you could get much better quality RAM. Also, please check if you have an IDE or SATA dvd drive, if you don't have a SATA drive we will need to spend another $15-$20 bucks on it, and at this price range that can mean a big hit in performance of everything else.
Best $700 build so far IMHO. The GTX 560 is quite a bit faster than the GTX 550. The GTX 550 is IMHO way overpriced considering it performs like a $100 5770.
