APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Hopefully sometime this week
BUDGET RANGE: Under $800 including shipping, before rebates.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Surfing the web
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: OS (I have a Vista 64bit disk), Speakers
PREFERRED WEBSITE FOR PARTS: newegg.com
OVERCLOCKING: possibly sometime in the future
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: possibly sometime in the future as well, if I get some more money. I wanna keep my options open
