Approximate Purchase Date: Today or the next few days


Budget Range: 900 before rebates but cheaper would be much better


System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, internet, productivity


Parts Not Required: Mouse and speakers


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg


Country of Origin: USA


Parts Preferences: Doesn't matter


Overclocking: Yes


SLI or Crossfire: Maybe


Monitor Resolution: 1600x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1080 depending on monitor

Additional Comments: It's basically going to be used for gaming only as I have a laptop for everything else. I haven't decided if I will Crossfire but it would most likely happen based on seeing how well the 6xxx series scales in Crossfire. Newegg's black Friday sales start later today so my build will most likely change if they offer better deals on other components but if nothing really affects me then this will be my final build. Also don't know if it would be worth it to pay a little bit more for Windows 7 Pro over Home.
