APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: No timeframe. Sooner the better.

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Mostly heavy gaming. Very little video/graphic editing. I would like to participate in folding.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, mouse, and OS.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, Tigerdirect, Flyzoom, and any other big reputable sites.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA.
PARTS PREFERENCES: by brand or type: No preference but I don't want to save a couple of dollars for a crap brand.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe xfire/sli. I will do a moderate amount of overclocking. I won't be pushing anything to the limit.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I've picked out some parts already. They are not set in stone, so if there's something better please let me know.

For mobo, I would like a mobo that allows a good amount of upgrades in the long run and good overclocking ability. (Should I worry about the whole foxconn issue when deciding on which mobo? From googling around, it doesn't seem like I should, but incase I've missed something, please let me know).
I assume a good mobo and 2 good sticks of 2gb ram will get me to around $1100. Then some extras like fans and whatnot would hit my budget cap. I would also appreciate if anyone can recommend some nice looking fans for my HAF 922 that are within my budget.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to the suggestions.
P.S. This will be my first build. Will I need any other things, i.e. cables or whatever?
