I have the Steelseries Sensei. Can't really comment on the Naga though
as I have never used one. However, the Sensei is a really solid mouse and
feels nice on the hand. I'm a flat grip (opposed to the clawed varient) so
the Sensei fits for me really well. Not to mention the engine for it and software
are fully customizable and fun to use. Either way, you won't be making a
mistake with either mouse!

It depends on the credibility of some claims I've heard that Razer apparel is poorly made. It still works perfectly now but it's only been three months - that's not really enough time to test build quality.

That aside though it's fantastic. Very comfortable, very precise, and the buttons on the side are very useful so that you rarely ever have to take your fingers off of the movement keys in whatever types of games.

Basically that is the build I got but I got it for about $500 cheaper. Might look into getting a second 670 but doubtful.
I will be however getting a 2nd HDD to improve load times on the majority of my stuff.

Worth the Weight
See specs in sig. Still running on last gen tech, but I refuse to upgrade since Ivy Bridge is such a failure with overclocking and heat, and it's hardly an improvement really over Sandy Bridge. Hopefully Haswell (which is a tock in the tick-tock line of Intel CPU's) will be a little bit more friendly.

My next upgrade will most likely be a 770 or a 8970 once the next gen cards hit the market, my 580 can still play every game that I play on max settings, so I am okay.

Yeah it's a little messy on the inside since my case is so massive and I cant route any of the main cables around the back :(

I have never gotten my hands on Sandy bridge so I would never know. Personally, I will always skip a generation as long as it isn't 100% required.

Go SLI 2 Gtx Titans and tell me how many frames you get On Crysis 3 lol.

That sucks :/ would expect it though. Lots of people advised me not to go with anything massive for that same reason.
