Anyone have any ideas on a setup that would fit this???

Mainly want to be able to play SC2 on highest settings and WOW, and if possible i would like the case to be black and have blue lights to match my headset/keyboard/mouse but if not just a black case will be fine, and i already have a monitor so i dont need one of those. Any help or suggestions on setups will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Norlag's build is solid, but thought I'd also give you an AMD option as well that uses an FX-8350 and a slightly better video card. That way you can pick what fits any other needs you may have.
