Thank you very much to anybody who reads this post and responds, I really appreciate it.
Approximate Purchase Date: In the next day or two
Budget Range: $1250ish
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming with a little bit of school
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Headset (speakers), Monitor, Case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Tigetdirect
Country of Origin: USA!
Parts Preferences: i7 2600k, not 100% on motherboard but I've been looking at the Asus P8P67 Deluxe and a GeForce GTX 560 Ti but I'm not sure which manufacturer makes the best card.
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, I already have one Samsung PX2370
Additional Comments: One of my questions is whether of not I need a sound card and if it even makes a difference anymore. I'll use my Logitech G35 headset 99% of the time, though I was thinking about getting some speakers at some point. I have no idea what good gaming RAM is like and I want to know what good cooling is for the RAM and CPU because I do plan on OCing.
