I started wanting Amd. Then I decided I like Intel. I recently settled on my build and plan on ordering in about a week... same theory. 1000 dollars. SLI option. starcraft.

I won't force it upon you but if you'd like to see the best Intel build 1000 can buy I'll post it.

All of the above comes out to about $960 with rebates. I did a lot of reading up and I love this build. The i5 proc overclocks easily and the payoff is big. Same goes for the 460, which provides GREAT bang for buck. and it kicks @$$ in SLI. One 460 is totally fine for now, and later you can another another for SLI and it will be even cheaper. ;)
