Approximate Purchase Date: with in the next week
Budget Range: 800-1000 before rebates
System Usage: Gaming
Parts not required:
Preerred website: TigerDirect
Country of origin: United states
Parts Preference: Intel CPU and Nvidia video card
Overclocking: No
SLI or crossfire: Maybe in the future
Monitor resolution: I'd like something along the lines of 1600x1200 or 1920x1200 but I'll understand if that's just not possible with this budget

Heres what I'm thinking of using but please suggest what you think is the best option for the budget

Case
DVD Drive
Power supply
Video card
CPU
Windows
Hard Drive
Ram/Memory
Motherboard
I have no idea what monitor to pick
 
Good build and about the only thing that I have to add is that while the Intel® Core™ i5-2500K does come with a HSF (heatsink/fan) that will work just fine at stock speeds. However with the Intel Core i5-2500K if you plan to overclock you are going want to add a 3rd party HSF to deal with increased temps. There are a number of good air coolers out there that will allow you to reach up to 4.5GHz and maybe higher.

If I go with the corsair power supply and stick with the case I picked would that be okay? if so I can get it for 968.90 before shipping and 989.27 after which keeps me with in my budget
