Hello, everyone!
I recently decided it's time to update my desktop, as I'm having trouble playing a lot of newer games. Here's the template
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Sometime within the next two weeks. The sooner, the better!
BUDGET RANGE: $1,200
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, watching movies, surfing the web.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Hard Drive, Speakers.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com
PARTS PREFERENCES: Obviously an i7 processor and compatible motherboard. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions.
OVERCLOCKING: Most likely, yes.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Since I'm open to both ATI and Nvidia cards, I'm considering SLI and Crossfire for the future. Given my current budget, I won't be purchasing two or three cards right now.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: A few friends have told me that DX 11 cards will be coming out by the end of the year, so I'm willing to settle with a cheaper card for now, and upgrade in the future. That being said, I want to be able to play new and upcoming games at max, or very high settings. I know Crysis may be the exception, but I have no intention of playing it. I was told that the 9800GTX+ would be the best "bang for buck" card for my situation, but I'm not completely sure.
Here's what I put together on Newegg.

There's an extra $200 that can be spent.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration, it is much appreciated!
