APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: When windows 7 is released. BUDGET RANGE: ~$2000 (if it goes over its fine)

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Mostly gaming, maybe some video editing in the future.

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard and mouse

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.ocm

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States

PARTS PREFERENCES: core i7 for sure

OVERCLOCKING: Yes SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe

MONITOR RESOLUTION: Doesn’t really matter

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The cost doesn’t really matter, the only thing I need is to keep the case and a monitor under $600. I would like the size of the monitor to be 24”+. I was thinking about getting 2 5850’s but should I just get one 5870? I'm going to get the core i7 920.
