So this is what I've come up with so far.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the next month.
BUDGET RANGE: $1000-$1500
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, possibly some HD movie watching on occassion. Mostly gaming tho. I have my current pc for downloads, work stuff, and the intrawebz.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, OS
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com or where ever stuff is cheaper
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel for proccessor, Asus for mobo. Nvidia for GPU. Outside of that, I'm open to opinions.
OVERCLOCKING: eh...maybe in the future but I doubt it. Also will probably stick with a single video card....for now
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 or 1920x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I've read alot about different case options, and the coolermaster is the one I like the best. Prolly wont sway me on that. It would seem that most folks prefer an ATI video card over Nvidia? I've just had a better overall experience with Nvidia cards, would really like to stick to that.
Mouse, keyboard and all the little stuff I will be getting also, I just didn't include them here as I pretty well know what I want.

For the monitor, I'm looking for something in the 24-26 inch range. HD in case of movie watching and what not. I'm guessing that'll probably add ~$500. Any suggestions in this area would be great.
Any suggestions on speakers and a bluray drive(don't really need a burner) would also be great!
I think that pretty well covers it. Am I forgetting anything? If so, please point it out and call me the noob that I am.
Ready....set....discuss
Thanks all
