*EDIT* This build takes into account the recommendations of many and personal preferences of those already in the thread. Also, I plan to use a 32inch HDTV as my monitor since it is laying around the house. Will this pose any issues with my build?
Budget Range: $1200 - 1600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming(World of Warcraft & Diablo 3), School Work
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, And Monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com or tigerdirect.com
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: I have always been an Intel chip fan. As for Motherboards, I prefer ASUS but I'm open to other brands. Graphics Card? I guess EVGA.
Overclocking: Possibly.
SLI or Crossfire: Possible in the future.
Monitor Resolution: Using a 32inc HDTV so I assume max at 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I would like the system to last for at least 3-5 years without needing to upgrade. The previous system I had was bought when quad core processors first came out and has done well up to now (~4years).
