[Breken]

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Today or Tomorrow

BUDGET RANGE: under $2000

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Media, Home Theater, Games, Internet, all around.

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I'm pretty much replacing everything, already have the system drive..

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US

PARTS PREFERENCES: None really

OVERCLOCKING: No

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Not needed for a long time if ever.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: System is being built to replace an aging PC. System will mostly be a media outlet, but will also be the primary computer for my girlfriend who "lives" on the Internet. I want the system to age well, and be a 4+ year machine. They already have one monitor, and the new monitor will be in addition to. I also want this system to have a bit of a "wow" factor.

Thanks for the tip. I forgot to include my OS. I'm certainly going for Windows 7. I'll track down that guide.
