Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

games I'll be playing will range from the Shadows of Mordor, Dota2, Crysis, Dragon Age 3 and many more upcoming games as they are released.
The retailers will vary depending on the cost of each individual components. However, I have found that pccasegear has the cheapest available stock in...
Thanks for that advice, thats very true.
After reading on a few around that area, I like the sound of the MSI X99S Gaming 9 ACK Motherboard (estimated to come out on 6/1/15 for $599.00 at pccasegear)
This eliminates the needs for the wireless card and the sound card as well.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc

Mainly used for as max settings as I can achieve game play and as a high res movie player for the family.
