Approximate Purchase Date:
This week, as soon as my parts list gets validated by forum experts
Budget Range:
$1000 - $1200, After Rebates (there are none for my parts); After Shipping (shouldn't be too expensive, most are free)
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Programming (multiple IDEs open, constant builds and compiles), Gaming (Starcraft II mostly), web-surfing 60 tabs open and general computer use with tons of crap open
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, a second monitor
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) Everything, new build
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, links below
Location: San Jose, California, U.S.
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU (they're the fastest), second-best of everything else (goal is not too expensive, while keeping quality/performance)
Overclocking: Maybe, Convince me why I should, would just like to use my computer smoothly and quickly, less things to deal with
SLI or Crossfire: No, no intense Crysis gaming
Your Monitor Resolution: Exactly 1920 x 1080 please
Additional Comments:
Quiet (will keep on at night), Fast but cheap (everybody asks for this probably)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
1. It's about time
2. Old computer broke (crashes, when turning on after, monitor gets no signal, don't wanna deal with it, not worth paying to fix, relatively old (3-4 years old?) )
Components List
I'm going to be going with TheBigTroll's parts list instead:

I've already bought an Antec 520W continuous power supply. Can I keep that instead of spending another $50 on the power supply listed in the parts list above?
