hello everyone i'm an amateur gamer... I want like to upgrade my prev pc... However i've been out of touch from the latest upgrades that have been released recently.... Hence i would be glad for some advice.... I intend to use my pc mainly for gaming & some light stuff on the side... I've got a budget of about $1100... I already have keyboard, mouse, etc. I just need to buy a new cabinet, motherboard, ram, graphics card, processor & smps... I would be glad if anyone could suggest me what i can get in this budget that will allow me to play the latest games without any problem for the next 5 yrs.... Thank you :)

P.S.: I've chosen slightly overpowered PSU, for future SLi, better graphics card, overclocking of CPU and others. Also, there's no rig, besides some 3500+ dollar beast that could play games on maximum, for next five years, just saying. I left you there option to upgrade ram to 16 gigs anytime, and getting 2 way SLi anytime.
