www.hardocp.com had a link yesterday to a 1 tb SATA HD for $39 or so, free shipping

Make sure the MB you get is indeed P67 chipset, socket 1155...

since considering Crossfire (a single GTX570 is fast enough for 1920x1080, BTW, so weigh the cost of single card vs. two cards at your desired resolution), make sure you get enough PSU, I'd opt for a quality 850-900 watt PSU....

Isn't 850~900W too high??
I was thinking about Seasonic M12II 620W bronze. What do you think about this PSU? Isn't this enough for 6870CF?

^ Yeah a quality 650w unit would run those cards in cf just fine. That seasonic one should do. Very nice unit.

Well your fits perfectly into my budget I made for my site. It's in between 1200$ and 1500$ so It's perfect, it's at the bottom of the page. I think it should fit nicely.
