Approximate Purchase Date: Today
Budget Range: Under $1500 preferably
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, movies, internet, music
Parts Not Required: At the moment, I will reuse my 20 inch monitor, and my keyboard/mouse/speakers. Will be upgrading later.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca
Country of Origin: Canada
Parts Preferences: Full tower case. Prefer Nvidia and Intel to AMD.
Overclocking: Yes on CPU and GPU.
SLI or Crossfire: Possible SLI once Kepler is released.
Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050. Will upgrade to 24" - 26" 1080p soon.
Additional Comments: I do not care how loud my system is, performance is more important.
Newegg.ca has some good deals on for the next 72 hours, so I finally decided its time to upgrade my ancient dell. This is my first time building my own computer, but I am not new to the concept. This is a mid-high ranged gaming build.

What do you think? My biggest concerns are the 570 vs 560ti vs 6950 and if I should include a SSD or not. I will very likely pick up a second cheap 570 for SLI once Kelper is released.
