Planning on buying these components today, it's my first build so I'm not exactly sure if everything is compatible.

I will be buying everything off of www.Directcanada.com

-------------------

I won't be overclocking, but I will be gaming quite abit.

I was told the i5-3470 is better than the i5-3570 (non-K) this sounds weird to me, can anyone explain to me whether this is true or not?

It will be paired with a GTX 660 Ti for now, and in a years time a GTX 780 or 770 when they arrive.

After a lot of debate I have finally selected all the components that I want. I just need some confirmation that everything is compatible as I plan on buying these parts later today.

This is my first build and I just want to make sure I have everything that is needed.

Will everything work properly and do you have any suggestions? (Due to time restraints I need to keep the build as cheap as possible, under $1000)

I want to buy all my components from one site, so please, if you have any suggestions, make sure they are available at www.newegg.ca

I'll be using the Intel Core i5's integrated graphics for now as I am unable to afford a graphics card.

I will later be buying a GTX 670 when I can afford it, I will not be running in SLI and I will not be overclocking anything.

Will the Gigabyte G1. Sniper M3 have enough room to run two EVGA GTX 660 Ti's in SLI?

Something besides Rum, Vodka, Whiskey, Tequila, and Bourbon.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, just simple games, like, Command and Conquer 4, War Craft 3 and Two Worlds 2, Star Craft 2, and Final Fantasy 14 when they are released later this year.

Or can someone recommend me a computer that can be ordered from Canada and that's not too pricey.

I give Edward 5 minutes max on the best day of his life before blade cuts him in half.

Yes I know Windows 7 is newer, but I don't plan on playing any high end games or anything.

And I'm kinda limited on funds, which might not be a big deal for some people but I'm limited to where I can buy from and they're charging an extra 100 dollars for windows 7. Either Desktop package I get either ways is better than my current laptop.

1) If you turned around and a giant baked potato was eating a fish.

2) If you walked in front of a moving semi truck with out realizing it and when it hit you it folded around you leaving you completely unharmed.

3) You have 3 light bulbs, but these aren't ordinary light bulbs.

One sucks the darkness out of the room and replaces it with pure white light.

The other sucks the light out of the room and replaces it with pure darkness.

And the third sucks in all light and dark and spits it out all at once.

So when you turned them all on at the same time a black whole popped up and God came flying out of it, and he turned out to be only 2 feet tall and he said "HEY! Put me back right ****ing now! and never do this again!!!"

And I mean everything from every individual page in your books to every piece of clothing and every piece of garbage.

Question number 2:

What would you do if you walked into the basement and there were hundreds if not thousands of glow sticks hanging from the ceiling?

Question 3:

What would you do if you walked into your house and there were a bunch of gnomes having a paintball battle?

Question 4:

What would you do if you walked into your house and a giant unpoppable bubble started following you around where ever you went?

Question 5:

What would you do if you walked into your house and you suddenly seen a cat riding a tricycle popping in and out of furniture and coming and going through walls?

Ok now, I suck horribly at explaining things but here go's anyways:

Let's say I played one character over and over again (beating the game with one character and choosing to play as him/her in the second play through).

Now:

Let's say I took the time to search for all the Metals and Gasses and the Turian Insignias, (and everything else), but in my second play through I didn't do all that stuff.

Will Mass Effect 2 Recognize the things I did in my first play through or only the stuff in my current play through?

And finally what happens if I don't finish my current play through? Will I have to beat my current game before I can upload the save into Mass Effect 2?
