Gaming specific. Want to play games in max settings while recording.
great graphic card. Great Processor. Big SSD. maybe 2x8 RAM
don't need a great optical drive. just something to load games and operating system(Win7 Home Premium)
don't need a pretty case. just something to keep it ventilated. would like the motherboard and case to have room for later upgrade.
A power supply to support future upgrades.
As many fans as I can get in my budget. just want to keep the system cool.
I am open to suggestions.

Thank you for your time and help, but I kind of would rather have an SSD instead of an HDD and a 2x8 16GB RAM.

I hope this fits your budget. Also, with that SSD you'll get amazing performance, but if you're going to have a lot of games then it is going to run out of space quickly.
