GPU: ANOTHER MSI HD 7770,
because one just doesn't feel strong enough with a 3570K, and crossfire works pretty good these days.

Exact price is part of the entry rules (product price).... little under 750 isnt acceptable


ie: you cant state a little under, you have to state EXACTLY what your price was.
