Yup, its me. With winter upon us, I think its time to jump back into the CSS and MW2 arena and I saw the new CS teaser and got a bit aroused. Specs of a new build are below, let me know what you think. Ive been away from the comp building for awhile so I dont know what is bad/good anymore. Looking to keep it reletively cheap(Under 1k), but don't mind spending more to get a bit better performance. But this build seems like it could handle anything out there. Grabbed alot off of a Life Hacker post

ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B 135mm To keep it cooooooool
All in all this adds up to 1200, so a bit over budget but I could easily make the budget if i wouldnt go with the SSD or Blu Ray, but I think those will pay off in the long run.
And yes, I want to make babies with you all
