^ Well if for gaming, then I would suggest the i5 760 or X4 955...the 6-Core doesnt offer any advantage over these CPUs...

And PSU + CASE - IMO you wont need 1000W and also a better manufacturer...
Lian-Li K62 + XFX 750W

Graphics card - XFX and Free game...

Bah, Gkay AND Batuchka have answered this thread - there really was no need for me to come here

If going with intel i5 760 you would want an Asus P7P55D E Pro board for USB/SATA III and Crossfire/SLI. You could then go with a GTX 460 and SLI it later, or a 5870 to Crossfire later.

I cannot see Bat's suggestion at work, but I am guessing he has the AMD build covered
