$1050 Intel Gaming Build

[cyric1966]

Hello All,
Looking for some advice on building a gaming system that will do the following in order of importance:

1.) Play Multiple MMORPG games (2 or 3 toons at a time) on a 47" HDTV 1080P on high graphics settings (Games: EVE, EQ, Rift, Vanguard)

2.) Be able to have Internet Explorer up while gaming in order to search game info

3.) Watch DVD on HDTV listed above (not while gaming LOL)

Approximate Purchase Date: I will order the parts on Feb 14th 2011

Budget Range: $1050 FIRM before rebates (dont worry about the shipping charges)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: See above

Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor , PSU = Rosewill 600w SLI Ready

I currently have Windows XP 32bit but would like to go to W7 budget permitting

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Country of Origin: USA

Parts Preferences: Intel with Nvidia

Overclocking: Nice option but not high priority

SLI or Crossfire: Yes

Monitor Resolution: 47" 1080p HDTV

Additional Comments: Would like a roomy case with good cooling, doesnt have to be pretty and can be mid or full tower.

Thanks in advance for anyone who is kind enough to take time out of their lives to help me.

Nothing comapres to sandy bridge on a performance since there being recalled you'd have to wait until late march.
also, really internet explorer?
have you tried chrome or firefox?
much better options,

back on topic either swith to AMD platform or wait.

I really dont want to wait til march. I guess the system doesnt HAVE to be Intel, I just really like NVIDIA and wanted to go SLI eventually.

If I reopened this up to AMD, what would you recommend for a build that will do what I listed?
