Hello Fellas,
Looking to build a new gaming computer, would love to know what you guys think of what I have so far.
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 1000-1300
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No, getting from school.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Location: Philadelphia, Pa, US
Parts Preferences: Intel Cpu most likely
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Most likely not going to sli/crossfire, but thinking about going with a psu/mobo that can handle it so I can if I choose to later. Mobo and psu recommendations if I decide against xfire are more than welcome.

Any advice you guys have would be greatly appreciated.
Edit- Need a Cpu cooler also. I've had good experience with the corsair h50 and h80 in other builds, but I've read that there are better air coolers around. Would love recommendations on those also.
