APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the week.
BUDGET RANGE: $1,200 - $1,400
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Primarily gaming.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Everything except speakers and an OS (Have Windows 7 already.)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Not much really; though I'm a bit of a Samsung fan.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe in the future, still new to this.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future, not 100% sure how either works.
MONITOR RESOLUTION:The monitor I'm looking at recommends 1920 x 1080, otherwise not much of a preference.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd like a quite PC. Looking to be able to play all the current games.
The included build is based off one I saw on these forums from a month or so back and uses current combo deals from newegg.com. I doubt it makes much of a difference but I plan on running dual monitors in a couple months. I'm mainly looking for suggestions and/or upgrades on the build I currently have but any advice at all is more than welcomed. This is my first time building my own computer and I'm not sure on some things so please bear with me.

This puts me at just under my budget ($1,379.73 after shipping and rebates), though I think I could manage to squeeze out a few more dollars if needed. Also, I don't think I needed to include the keyboard & mouse but I did.
Sorry for this post being rather lengthy and thanks in advance for any help, I'd greatly appreciate it.
