Hello all, just looking for feedback on a build.
---
PURCHASE DATE: Within the week
MAX BUDGET: $1300
SYSTEM USAGE: Games, Amateur Video Editing & Photo manips, Multimedia
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: OS, Montor, or input devices
PREFERRED WEBSITE FOR PARTS: newegg, but I'll buy elsewhere
OVERCLOCKING: Amateur but will try
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: In the future
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Trying to build something that'll last 4-5 years, or at least be easily upgradeable. I would like to dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu... any advice as far as drivers and such go?

There are some newegg combos in there, so the total price is just shy of $1300.
