i7 2600k
ASUS P8P67 PRO
Corsair Force Series2 60GB SSD - Frys is cheapest that I found. 114.00 Nice OS drive
PNY GTX 550Ti
Kingston DDR3 HyperX T1
Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm 32mb cache
Thermaltake V9 Black Widow Gaming Case
Windows 7
Plantronics GameCom X95

All this for under 1200.
Nice man, microcenter is honestly cheaper than online in most cases just FYI for processors and such
