Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible but I can wait awhile

Budget Range: $850-$950

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and Videos

Are you buying a monitor: I will be purchasing a monitor at a later date and will currently be using my TV

Parts to Upgrade: I am building a completely new pc, but I have a mouse and keyboard.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

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

Location: Lufkin, TX, USA

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU and nVidia graphics card

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes in the future

Your Monitor Resolution: I am planning to get a 1080p monitor in the future

Additional Comments: I would like the best parts for my money. I am also planning on doing upgrades in the future. I will be playing games like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Just Cause 2 and would like to be able to run them smoothly on relatively high settings. I would also really like it if the parts matched somewhat, but that is negligible.

Case I would like to use (I am open to other suggestions):
Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Performance Full Tower Case

Thank you so much for any help you can give me!
