Hey guys, new to the forum so first off hello and nice to meet you.
I want to build a monster but it's going to have to happen slowly, so the plan is to lay it out and stick with the list. While it may not be top dog come the finish it will still eat the babies of lesser systems for a few years. :lol:
This will be my first build from the ground up, so feel free to "smack the hand" as it were when I reach for a bad idea.
Approximate Purchase Date: Progressive
Budget Range: It'll be part by part so final price isn't an issue
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming/Internet
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com, but I'm open to others
Country of Origin: USA

Additional Comments: I just started looking up parts the middle of today so I haven't got everything, but I'll list what I have so far. Well, what I think I have so far. I guess that's subject to change, yeah?

I feel confident about what I picked so far, but as stated prior this is my first full build. As far as what I have left to pick out I'm open to suggestion.
And please, no fan-boys. Its counterproductive. Respectfully, back it up or can it.
