Hey everyone, I have posted here before not too long ago asking for build advice for different setup, but now my budget has changed and so have most of my chosen parts.
I am building my second gaming PC, I chose all the parts off newegg.ca (I am in Montreal). I would prefer getting all the parts at once from this site. So guys what do you think of these parts, I am looking to be able to play pretty much every game released with a constant 60 fps (vsync) on a 1680 x 1050 res.
GAMES I WANT TO RUN MAXED WITH 60FPS: Bad Company 2, Crysis (close to maxed out I guess, anti-aliasing off most likely for this game), MW2, Bioshock 2, anything on the Unreal 3/Frostbite/Crytek engines. Pretty much all games coming out within the next 2-3 years I want to run at 60fps on max gfx or very close to max (anti-aliasing included )
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: (May)
BUDGET RANGE: (2000 CND Final Price (Tax included))
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (Gaming with gfx maxed out at constant 60 fps (I will settle for 4x anti-aliasing though, but everything else I would like maxed))
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: (Monitor, DVD/CD Rom, External HDD, Floppy )
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (newegg.com, Tigerdirect.ca, directcanada.ca, ncix.com)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (North American I guess)
PARTS PREFERENCES: (Intel processor, Full ATX, Crossfire/Sli ready for a card expansion in the future, modular PSU, laser mouse, DX 11)
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, most likely in the future, to help "future proof"
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes, in the future when things start to get sluggish, I will buy another gfx for sli/xfire
MONITOR RESOLUTION: (1680x1050)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: (I would like a quiet PC, Less then 40db spl when not gaming)
Ok the parts:

MOBO: (is this board "future proof" enough? I was thinking of getting the rampage III but it's so expensive, what does the rampage have that this doesn't that's really important?)

I want this pc to be quite future proof, that's way decent overclocking room and sli/xfire are important. Though I doubt I will overclock or sli until it starts to get out dated, and if I do overclock, I want to do it on air cooling.
