Need Help Selecting Parts

[TheRandomWookie]

I'm trying to pick out parts for a new gaming build. I'm planning on playing lots of new games on it such as Guild Wars 2 and Skyrim.

Budget Range: Hoping between $1500-$1700 before rebates.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming!!!

Parts Not Required: none

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com

Country of Origin: US

Parts Preferences: Razer keyboard

Overclocking: maybe

SLI or Crossfire: maybe later

Monitor Resolution: need one so I guess I should probably go with 1920x1080?

That build up above will mop the floor with BF3, Crysis, you name it. It will max out any game out there.
