Im not planning on buying anything until after Christmas unless some really good deals come up on black Friday for any of the parts listed. Im open to any suggestions or replacements to increase performance or decrease price.

Thanks in advance.

yeah it has to be under 1500 but the cheaper I can make it the better.

u know u can always step down to q6600 OC and get a 22" monitor
thats like a good $200 dollar saving
also if u go 22" (1680x1050 res) the 4850 whouldn't be bad, cross fire it and for the same price as the single and 4870 and it could last u a while http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102770
