COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US, Hawaii
PARTS PREFERENCES:
Antec 1200 full tower case (or something similar, must be good cooling).
EVGA E758-TR 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard (or anything better that is compatible with i7 920 and capable of 3-way SLI/crossfire).
Intel Core i7 920.
An up to date high-end gfx card, preferrably Nvidia, unless can be persuaded otherwise. (plan to use multiple cards in the future, unless 2 decent cards is better than 1 really good card?)
Windows 7 (home premium or professional for gaming?)

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes, but for now no, unless (above).
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050. I have a http://ap.viewsonic.com/me/products/productspecs.php?id=279 and was wondering if that monitor should be upgraded for aion? im not sure about how monitors affect performance and quality.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I have no knowledge on anything of fans. I do not plan to have liquidcooling, though id like it to be as cool as possible. Any suggestions on how many fans for the total computer? and where they should be located? I also want to make sure to get a quality cpu heatsink/fan.
For anyone who replies, thank you!
