You also probably shouldn't bother trying to bypass the numerous copyprotection features on the PS3 which will prevent you from burning pirated PS3 discs.

You can't pirate PS3 Games.... they won't play if they're burned and there's no MOD Chip.

You can't discuss that here, so drop the topic and concentrate on the spec of the build please.

Did you have a read through the guide Carbon posted the link to?

Its not bad what you have posted, but is very expensive for what you get.

Core I7 isn't much cop for gaming, far better off with an E8500, Gigabyte EP45 UD3P, GTX 280, 8GB DDR2 1066 RAM, 2 Western Digital 640GB AALK Hard Drives and an Antec P182 case.

That will save you about a grand and you will still have an awesome system.

You could also go with a 4870X2 if you want even better graphics performance and still be waaaay under your current budget.

Yep, if you buy 50 you'll get them all for a dollar. Of course not!

Why? Are you planning on building two with the money you saved?
