$1500 gaming build

[Echosixone]

Hi guys,
I'm looking to assemble my first gaming computer soon. I've picked out some parts but I could use some in depth knowledge and some second opinions. Also I'm kinda out of touch with graphics cards so any advice on a good card would be appreciated. cheers

$1,519 but that doesn't include any savings fro current newegg combos.

Thanks for the suggestions, but since i'm not in the US I can't use newegg so I'm kinda limited in the parts I can choose from. I've decided to use the PSU, mobo, cooler and graphics card you suggested though. What was wrong with my choices for case, CPU (I've read that using i7 in a gaming rig is a bit pointless because games don't really use hyperthreading) and RAM?

Also would it be worth waiting for sandy bridge? I assume that means I'd have buy a mobo other than the X58?
