other notes: i never plan to use more then 1 monitor, will be running a widespread genre of games from starcraft 2 to eve online to crysis to badcompany2 world in conflict etc etc,... i have no experiance overclocking cpu's or gpu's, will be running only 1 video card to start and adding a second later to save on the initial cost also will be running the stock cpu cooler to start and upgrading later if temps get too high
this will be my 1st build, i am upgrading from an hp m8000n i bought several years ago that has a athlon +5200 dual core and a radeon hd4350 vista 32bit
