Approximate Purchase Date: within next 2-3 months

Budget Range: $1200 after rebates, including cost of monitor and OS

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (LOL, SC2, Team Fortress 2), surfing the internet, possibly streaming some video of my gaming sessions

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any

Location: Austin, TX, USA

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: best that fits within price range

Additional Comments:
- I want a case that is as small as can fit a full sized graphics card (and still have a PSU strong enough to handle it obviously), and I don't want it to be a flashy one with lights, I'd prefer that this not look like a "gamer" system
- I'd like a SSD drive that is at least 128gb as the main drive, with a backup HDD of 1tb
- I'd like a monitor at least 25' in size

Any clarifying questions, please ask! Thanks.
