Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: ASAP (within a week for sure)

Budget Range: (1000-1200$)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: All around gaming, but this is replacing my current system so that i can run/save/analysis large excel files ~1gb.

I currently have 3 monitors using a DisplayPort to DVI active adapter.

Do you need to buy OS: I will be running Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com / amazon.com

Location: Florida

Parts Preferences: Intel, Radeon (however i am not locked in)

Overclocking: Yes / Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe not sure if its in my budget

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080, 1920 x 1080, and 1280 x 1024

Additional Comments: The cooler the computer runs the better, however this is not as important as being able to handle the workload.
