I will begin buying parts next Thursday [12/31/09].
I want to stay under $1000 for all computer parts and under $200 for monitor.
So under $1200 for everything (computer parts including monitor)
Right now my current plan puts me around $1120.
Here is my planned build so far:

Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I5750 - $199.99: Might consider buying this from TigerDirect to save 10 bucks but not sure if it's free shipping and with the same customer service as newegg.
