APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Sometime within the next month.
BUDGET RANGE: Total, I am planning on spending around $1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Movies, Internet
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I already bought a XFX HD 4870 for about $125 and also the g9 mouse for $24 and 1080p 24" Dell for $185.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg is great. Otherwise wherever a deal is
PARTS PREFERENCES: No preferences.
OVERCLOCKING: Yes but not crazy overclocking. Just enough so I am not "wasting" any speed that I could be getting out of my processor w/o needing to worry about cooling.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Probably just crossfire seeing that I already bought a Radeon GPU.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: already got 1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want a nice gaming computer that is easily upgradeable and of course for movies and browsing as well. Here are my specs so far:
Mobo: ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard: $195 AR

CPU: i7 920: $280 (unless of course I can get someone I know at best buy to get me one cheaper ) I am thinking the i7 because it seems like newer games are starting to take advantage of more cores lately??? correct me if im wrong. (I am sure you will haha)
PSU: PC Power & Cooling S75QB 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply: $120
