Approximate Purchase Date: In about a month.
Budget Range: Around $1000 for the components themselves. Obviously the closer to 1k the better.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and uh... more gaming. =P
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.
Country of Origin: US.
Parts Preferences: Intel/Nvidia would be my first choice, but I'm open to all suggestions.
Overclocking: Absolutely. Gonna try and overclock the 2500k to 4.4GHz right off the bat.
SLI or Crossfire: Unsure of whether I will or not. Definitely not initially. Perhaps a couple of months down the road.
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080. *See below*

Hey Guys,
Thanks in advance for the help!
Here's the components I've selected thus far.
Processer & CPU Cooler - i5 2500k w/ Corsair CAFA70 ($243.23)
Motherboard - ASRock P67 Extreme4 ($159.99)
Memory - G.SKILL RipJaws 4GB (2x 2GB) 1600Mhz DDR3 ($49.99)
Graphics Card - Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 ($289.99)
Power Supply & Hard Drive - Corsair HX Series 850w Modular w/ Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB ($186.98)
Case - Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced ($99.99)
The total comes out to be $1030.19 (Side note: I factored the MIR's and Combo Discounts into the prices listed above).
I'm actually not going to be purchasing a majority of the parts for another month, but I've been wanting the HAF 912 Advanced for some time. I just noticed that it is in stock on the Cooler Master store and wanted to grab the case before its out of stock yet again. Once I buy it I'm kinda stuck with it. I just wanted to get the green light from some of you all before I start setting my plans in motion.
So, overall thoughts on the build? Is it solid? Will it be a kick @$$ system?
Last question. I have not purchased a monitor yet. Does anyone have any suggestions at the resolution I listed above? (Looking to spend no more than $200 on it)
Thanks again!
