I have decided to start using some of the coins I have been hoarding for some time to build a new PC. Below is the parts list; what has already been purchased and what still needs to be purchased.
This project is 100% Bitcoin funded. The two sites that I have been using to accomplish this are Bitcoin Store (http://bitcoinstore.com) and Amazon by purchasing gift cards from Gyft (gyft.com) using either their site or mobile app. I highly recommend Gyft. Great customer service, constantly adding new store cards, and the Bitcoin transactions use Bitpay seamlessly.
Opening a link will take you thru CoinUrl first. Clcik "skip ad" in the top right to get to target page. This also helps fund the project ;)

-->Parts to be Purchased<--
Video Card/GPU
Totally undecided!! I just cant make up my mind. Looking towards a 7970 but if anyone has any suggestions please harass me on twitter (name below). GPU will be used for light crypto coin mining (i.e. FeatherCoin, possibly Litecoin) and also will be needed to play video games. Needs to pass the Crysis test...so, it has to be top of the line. I dont care if I spend $800-$1000 bc this is the central part of the build.

Power Supply
Rosewill Stallion RD700
or Higher max watts. But I think 700 is fine.
