Parts not required: Keyboard/mouse, optical drives, sound card, speakers, or monitor. I wont be recycling my case as its getting a bit dated, I prefer full size towers.
I am looking for a crossfire setup, preferably an AMD processor as they seem to be a bit cheaper than i5/i7. Mainly this computer will be used for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, hoping to run it at very high settings. Any input would be appreciated
Edit: I will be purchasing within two weeks.

PSU Corsair's 650watt modular (imo, should be more than adequate to crossfire 5850's down the line for me) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139012
Mobo/CPU Combo deal msi 790fx-gd70 and phenom ii x4 965 with free canon printer, worth the 10 bucks to step up to 965 and a free printer imo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.270577
A 38mm large fan would be more ideal, due to the static pressure; but the Mega Shadow only comes with 2 pairs of 25mm fan brackets. And I can't find a san ace 38mm anywhere, so not really a big deal for me.
This is the build I'll be getting in the mail this week. Naturally you can change out the case and 5850 for a 5870 or the 650watt PSU for a larger supply like the 750TX from corsair, but this should give you an idea as to what you're looking for.
