APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week!

BUDGET RANGE: I'd like to be around 850 after shipping costs.

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (Blizzard games, Dragon Age, Civ IV, would like to not have to worry too much when I buy a game), recording music (which just means it has to be at least somewhat quiet)

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, mouse, speakers, Monitor

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe, first time doing it so will see.

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: I’ll probably go for that as games start to take a toll on the card.

Ok, since the links didn't work, I'll try again. Mrhosh, this build is one of yours -- I just wanted the community's input to make sure there wasn't anything else I should be considering -- and now you're recommending a new setup! I'm more confused than ever, hahaha! Also, I read the review on your case, which said it was loud. I really need a quiet and cool case for music recording.

Anyway, here are the (working) links:
