While I don't expect anyone to tell me exactly what I want or need, I am hoping for guidance. My goal is to have a system capable of running games no more daunting than WoW or RTS games (Command & Conquer type). I aim the have 2 maybe 3 screens, only the primary needing excellent graphics, possibly 8 gb ram, and 3 hard drives (must). It is my understanding that the motherboard is the most important piece to choose for these tasks. While reviewing other sites I get lost in the jargon, which I research and face more and more jargon. Any advice is welcome, with a "for Dummies" website would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

It will not let you match things that will never work together.
Post your final choice.
Suggestion: windows 8 for your OS.

Price, I understand could extend into $2000, while this isn't my intention, I'd rather not have parts that are poor or quickly needing replacement. I have nothing yet, and haven't begun to look into graphics cards to be honest. I don't need high resolutions, but I need the capacity for the lag free display (which will probably be a TV connected by HDMI).
