$1500 to $2000 gaming PC

[Oerion]

Hello, I was looking for some help deciding on what components to get.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: (This week)) BUDGET RANGE: ($1500 to $2000) Before rebates

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (gaming (fps,mmo), streaming videos, surfing the internet, watching movies)

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (keyboard, monitor, mouse, OS)

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (United States)

PARTS PREFERENCES: no preference
OVERCLOCKING: yes SLI OR CROSSFIRE: maybe

MONITOR RESOLUTION: Want to get something that would work well with 1920x1080, 1920x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I would like to get a SSD for the OS and a game or two.

If gaming is your main thing ... you could do fine with an i5-750 or AMD 965 Quad.

... Spend the savings on THIS ...

For gaming, I don't find 26" comfortable, put aside 32"...

@OP:

There is no benefit to getting an i7-930 for gaming. The i5-750 outperforms it at stock and is equal when overclocked. The same thing can be said of the AMD Phenom II 965.

Either get an AM3 mobo + 965 for excellent upgrade paths, or a P55 + i5-750 for better overclocking and slightly higher performance.

I'd get a 650W PSU, that's more than enough. But to improve airflow and easier installation, I'd get a 650HX (modular).

Rest looks excellent.

You are informed and an excellent communicator.

Impressive.
