Hi everyone I've been researching for awhile now and have found the forums here to be most helpful. I have had no rush to build a new rig (even though its well over due) but with the sudden death of my current pc I'm forced to act now. This will be my first build so any help and advice will be greatly appreciated!
Approximate purchase date: ASAP

System usage: Gaming , making/mixing music , video/photo editing , multitasking , movies , internet
Parts not required: keyboard/mouse , speakers , monitor
Preferred website: anything in New Zealand
Country: New Zealand
Parts preference: None
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or CF: Yes if not now definitely in the future
Monitor resolution: Main monitor 1980 x 1080p 47" LED 3D tv , second monitor 1280x1024
Here's what I've come up with:
http://pricespy.co.nz/product_list.php?do=lista&k=40347
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4GHz Socket 1155
CPU COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus OR
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Eng (64-bit OEM)
EXTRA FANS: Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm x2 or 3 depending on cpu cooler

I've been having trouble deciding on a gpu i do plan on cf/sli in the future but am trying to keep costs down for now. Also the having second thoughts about the case (something with similar features and dust filters) and the ssd perhaps 120GB or add another in the future.
