Approximate Purchase Date: 1-2 weeks
Budget Range: $800-$1000 Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet
Parts Not Required: Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010), HDD, SSD [Boot Drive], CPU
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, taking suggestions
Country of Origin: US
Overclocking: Maybe (Need to do more research; most likely from these forums)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future
Monitor Resolution: Unsure Honestly. May be getting a new monitor in the near future as well. (Don't have the make/model off hand.)
Additional Comments: I have made some basic purchases already that I don't think will ultimately affect the interaction of components; indicated below. Ultimately, I'm looking for some feedback on the overall system build. I realize that I may have made mistakes during research or misunderstood some compatibilities. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I would also like it if there are references (to read up on) to the opinions/facts hopefully presented. The following are the components that I am considering purchasing or have bought already:

Haven't really researched a disc drive yet. I would gladly take suggestions. Before there are any comments, I had to buy the CPU with the HDD to take advantage of a deal; so the CPU is locked in.
Again, thanks in advance.
