Approximate Purchase Date: Sooner the better.

Budget Range: $700-$1500 + give or take can be more.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Game playing, streaming, Editing, random multi-tasking.

Are you buying a monitor: Yep

Parts to Upgrade: Everything

Do you need to buy OS: Nope already have a fresh CD unopened.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, but any will do aslong as the parts can be shipped.

Parts Preferences: What ever works best.

Overclocking: Would like to have the ability to overclock.

SLI or Crossfire: Would like to have SLI/crossfire (depending on what graphic card is best at this time.)

Your Monitor Resolution: I would like to get 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I'd like to have it as quiet as I can, watercooled, if you guys know of any good gaming keyboard+mouse+headset with mic and not add it to the total of the overall rig build. being I can run off my current if need be for a bit. I would also like to be able to run any game at max settings, Ex: Skyrim, max settings, tons of mods, etc. EDIT: I'd also like if it would have room for upgrades later down the road.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My laptop did good for me in the few years I've had it, but it's starting to get rusty with how it treats games, I don't even want to TRY to stream on this little thing.
