I want to get the best performance and bang for the buck!
I want to be able to run games with great fps with out lag.. I was thinking about the following so far:
I am not too sure if everything fits properly, I didnt give much look into it yet.

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (gaming, watching movies/tv shows, researching/schooling)

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (dont need keyboard, mouse or monitor)

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: www.newegg.ca

PARTS PREFERENCES: Was hoping to go with an AMD Phenom ii x4 955 build(heard great things about this cpu) and has an amazing price.

This is all I have right now.. If you guys could provide me with any advice, and fill in the blanks for (GPU, PSU.. etc) that would be appreciated!

I am looking to run with the Phenom II X4 955 Processor since it's cheap and i've heard great things about this cpu.

CASE - Antec 200/ Antec 300 would be good options...

Graphics card - I would suggest the HD 5770 rather than other cards...
Reason - 1. They are powerful enough for your resolution
2. They are next Gen DirectX 11

PSU - as you will be going with 1 card( Even the mobo supports only 1 card), these would suffice...
