New Build for ~$1000

[theamericanstig]

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Anytime between now and the beginning of August. BUDGET RANGE: $1000 US

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Software Development, Gaming, Movies, Internet

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS (Windows 7 Professional x86 and x64)

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Anything you feel is reliable. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States

PARTS PREFERENCES: TV tuner. I prefer Intel, but an AMD won't kill me. Would like a Blu-Ray player/DVD burner (although the Blu-Ray could be left off).

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe, although probably not. SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No

MONITOR RESOLUTION: The bigger the better.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I also have two additional ~700gb WD Element external hard drives that I want to throw as well. Try and include the price of a monitor. I would prefer a 64-bit system, although 32-bit works just as well. Would also like it to be easily upgradeable (if you can). I could possibly throw in an additional $200 if you convince me it's really worth it.

Thanks!
