Approximate Purchase Date: December hopefully as deals pop up.
Budget Range: 800-1200(?) Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, dvi monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, tigerdirect, amazon, other trusted sites
Country: US
Parts Preferences: I was looking at a p55 classified 200 for SLI with an I7 and some gtx 580s but their still rocking a 500+ price tag which would probably botch the rest of the build with the budget, so looking for 2 affordable cards for SLI. And not sure if the p55 is compatible for what I want or the best for my money. I do want intel though. Have to have an SSD for gaming and a solid network card. Looking for smooth play on BF3 and SWTOR(max graphics if possible). 1 or 2 TB of hd would be nice. A correct amount of ram for the processor whether its pairs of 2, 3, or single slot 4, etc. i7 12 thread or 2600? Also need a fresh version of Win 7. Blu Ray rw disc drive. If possible USB 3.0?
Overclocking: Eventually Preferable (once someone teaches me the low down on it, cause apparently its the bees knees)
SLI or Crossfire: SLI Compatibility
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: I have a DVI monitor, but I have an HDTV with blu ray is it still worth it to get an HDMI monitor for gaming? Hopefully the SLI cards are compatible with hd and dvi in case I don't want to buy a HD monitor right away. My biggest concern with being a first timer is knowing what brands are worth trusting and actually getting the darn thing together and functioning. The budget range has the ? because I'm not exactly sure as to my fine line top end limit. Completely open to suggestion as this is my first build.
