So I just received a $900 stimulus package from the clowns running the country, and what better use for it than a new computer of unrivaled awesomeness. The only catch is its been so long since i last upgraded i have no idea what anything is anymore.

Budget - $1100 give or take

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, gaming, gaming, umm... gaming?

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Just need a computer, already got a perfectly good monitor, keyboard, etc

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf

PARTS PREFERENCES: Whatever is best value for money, willing to accept parts made by Satan if they run faster. Oh and a Soprano RS100 case (its so shiny)

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440 x 900 (may upgrade soon)
