CPU: Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor BX80605I5750
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

mobo:ASRock P55 PRO/USB3 LGA 1156 Intel P55 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
case: XION XON-CBX01-BL CyborGX Gaming Black w/ Blue LED Light Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
due to a transmission problem in my 350z, i had to put off buying my system for another pay period and have tweaked it, take a look and give your opinion.
purchase date: about 2 weeks
budget: $1000
usage: gaming
parts not required: none, replacing a laptop
website: newegg.com
country: United States
Preferred parts: intel/nvidia
overclocking: GPU: yes, CPU:not unless it becomes a choke point
SLI: possible as an alternative to a new card
monitor resolution: 1920x1080
other comments: keep in mind the budget, don't recommend something $50 more because it's better.
I'm not missing any components, the ones not listed I don't need any advice on. One thing I'd like to know is about the memory, is the difference between a CL9 and CL7 noticeable?

I second vindictive's signature... but if you absolutely can't wait, this looks pretty good. I also would avoid Xion cases, though.
Oh, and I doubt you'd be able to OC your SC EVGA card much more; on that note, OCing your i5 would be pretty easy and a simple way to improve performance in some games. -
what about the compatible mobo, i did some quick research and if i read it right the sandy bridge is going to be on a new socket, which will mean higher mobo cost. and this is primarily a gaming pc, so would waiting an extra month plus the extra cost pay off since 95% of games don't stress your cpu beyond maybe 2 cores being used.
