Well so far I've bought:
I7 2600k bnib - $265
Gigabye GA-z68xp-ud4-be (Just took a gamble, since I know it works well) - brand new for $185
Antec 900 case - $60

I found another mb the, Z68X-UD3H-B3, used for $65 less than what I paid for a brand new one. That extra cash could be a better part here or there. Would it be worth it to go through the return and waiting game? Would I be missing anything that great? I don't mind the wait as it will be another week or 2 before I have everything else.

I do want to OC and am still shopping for a video card I want to use, but was planning to use the onboard graphics card until everything else was finalized. Gaming won't be that important for now unless I fall in love with pc gaming over my ps3. I want to run dual monitors, but starting off it will just be maybe one HP 2511 with an additional one being bought down the road. Do you see any problems with that considering gaming isn't the biggest issue? Also, how many watts should I not go under when it comes to a Power source?
