Additional Comments:

Basically want to build a pc that can play most if not all current games at max or high settings.. ie Battlefield Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2 and other demanding games.

I would like to upgrade it after a few months as well.. ram, gpu(s), and psu.

Here is a list of some parts. Would like have someones opinion and advice on them and any suggestions or questions would be helpfull.

The mobo, ram, storage, drive and cpu cooling I have no ideas on.. I'm open to suggestions...

6850 is a solid board for that price...you likely won't need to worry about Xfire or SLI unless you get a much larger monitor...(1920x1080 or larger)

Find a P67 mb, there are several reviewed recently....Asus is always a nice first place to look....
