New Build advise please ($1000 Gaming)

[alltheicons]

Hi I'm currently saving money and watching the shell shocker deals on newegg to see if any useful items come up for my new build. So far I just have a PSU 700w. I want to get the best for my money obviously.

Approximate Purchase Date: By the end of the year idly, looking o play some games at the end of the year or beginning of next year

Budget Range: The most bang for my buck, under $1000, the cheaper the better. I could use a couple hundred in my pocket right now

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mainly gaming, surfing internet, streaming movies, but I wouldn't mind being capable of some extra features

Parts Not Required: Cougar 700w PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817553005 and I don't need, mouse, keyboard, or monitor.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg(only company I've dealt with)

Country of Origin: U.S.

Parts Preferences: by brand or type prefer Intel processor and nvidia graphics

Overclocking: Only if necessary I want everything to ast as long as possible

SLI or Crossfire: yes, maybe not straight off the bat though. (so not included in the $1000 budget)

Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200) This I'm personally not sure about I currently hve a cheap $100 monitor from acer( maybe 20in?) and a 42in lcd tv from dynex. Generally I play all my games on the monitor though so I'd guess 1024x768

Additional Comments: looking to play, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Dota 2, Starcraft 2, and an up to date FPS, maybe Battlefield 3

I made a build myself but would like another opinion and/or suggestions on different products.

Total: $830 - MIR's

+ PSU( already have): Cougar 700w PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817553005

Basically I want to know if I'm looking at the right items for what I want to do? Is there anywhere I can save money or is it worth it to be more future proof, I'd definitely prefer a computer that would last. Are all these items gonna work together? Any suggestions on better graphics options for the PSU. Am I gonna need 460 sli to run these games? Should I fork up another bill and get 560 gtx? or even more to I dunno 590? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I would suggest this video card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150523

its a little more expensive but it performs better, has a rebate and free shipping right now, and if you register with XFX, a lifetime warranty

find a different PSU it will not be powerful enough to run two GPUs and did not get good reliability reviews.

for $130 you can get a 850W PSU which will support two GPUs easy

Am i missing something?

Anyone know anything about the video requirements on these games? Would I just be better off get a single 580 gtx and upgrading psu when i go sli later on? or would sli 460's be about the same come future proof? I heard i might get caped with the 460's becuase they are only 1gb and when you go sli they don't combine. Can anyone fill me in here? I'm really new to all this
