Hey there guys. This summer I'm gonna be working quite a bit, and I'm looking to upgrade from my laptop, an HD HDX16t, to a nice desktop.
I'll fill out this handy little 'form' and let you guys look over it. I'm looking for opinions on what I should get, I'll trust you all!
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: July 2010
BUDGET RANGE: (e.g.: 600-800) 900-1000 before rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, internet, movies
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel CPUs and Nvidia graphics cards (I've had great experience with both and it's what I'm familiar with)
OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920 x 1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I play COD MW2 and Warhammer Online, that's about it. I want a system that can handle instances of 80+ people in MMORPGs without lag or at least noticeable lag.
Thanks a ton guys! I haven't included any links because I haven't really found anything concrete yet, I'd just love your suggestions for the following:
Case:

PSU:
