To preface this, I am graduating High School and am moving to Seattle, Washington. I want to purchase a pc before I move and I want it to last 5 years until I graduate college. I want to be able to upgrade the pc for awhile. I wont be staying in a dorm so space isn't much of an issue.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the Next 3 months
Budget Range: $1400-$1800 Before Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the Internet, Watching videos, Student purposes
Are you buying a monitor: Yes I was looking at this Asus 1080p 24 inch monitor
[http://www.amazon.com/VN247H-P-24-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00AVYNS7M]
But am looking to have 2 monitors eventually probably a 27ish inch monitor
Do you need to buy OS: Yes Probably Windows 8 but am willing to be talked out of it. (Windows 8 has better performance for games right?)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference just reliable websites
Location: Purchased and Assembled in Sioux Falls, South Dakota USA--Moving to Seattle, Washington USA on June 1st
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: AMD (but again willing to be talked out of it)
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: (Crossfire is better for gaming right?) (I'm looking to upgrade throughout my early 20s)
Your Monitor Resolution: What ever resolution this one is and looking to get a higher end monitor soon

Additional Comments: A plethora of games, I want it able to run any game (If funds permit)
I own a Black Widow Ultimate keyboard, A Razer Naga Hex mouse (looking for a better one eventally) , and A Logitech g430 headset (also looking for a better one).
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I currently own an Alienware m17x. I am looking to get a desktop pc that will last me throughout college and be upgradable
Ill edit below if there is anything else you need to know or want to know or anything I think of adding later

I want to be able to play games on highest settings and play high quality videos at the same time.
