Budget $700 Gaming Rig

[LalaGamer]

Hi Everyone:

Thanks in advance for the opinions and input! I was wondering if SSD is worth getting and what kind I should get with the build I have in mind. There was a comment about the PNY video card not working well with someone's AMD Phenom II CPU, anyone have experience with this?

Approximate Purchase Date: this week

Budget Range: $700 After Rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (Diablo 3!!!), Watching videos, building websites/photoshopping pictures, surfing web, MS Office

Parts Not Required: monitor (Samsung), keyboard, mouse, speakers, PSU (Antec Earthwatts 650W), CPU heatsink/fan (Cooler Master N520), DVD drive, HD (Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 st3500320as), OS (Windows 7 Ultimate)

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com

Country of Origin: USA

Parts Preferences: No thanks to six+ core processors, I would not use those extra cores. I usually get Asus Mobo, EVGA Nvidia video cards, and Intel CPU, but not sure if the new i5s and i7s would be in my budget range with everything else.

Overclocking: Probably

SLI or Crossfire: In the future yes

Monitor Resolution: I don't remember what it was...my old computer has died on me after 5 years

Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC
