So I've been having issues with my laptop just got it back from having it repaired and it's in worse shape then it was when I sent it out . I've been planning on building a gaming pc for a while now. I can spend between $1000-$1800. I have a general idea of everything I want, just looking for some suggestions/feedback. I plan on doing a lot of gaming and some overclocking.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within a week.
Budget Range: $1000-1800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Movies, Programming, Minor video editing
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, bestbuy.com($225 in gift cards going towards processor)
Parts Not Required: (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers)
Country: USA
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1600x900
Additional Comments: Looking to run SWTOR, BF3, Mass Effect 1/2/3, Batman: Arkham City at High-Max Settings with good FPS.
What I'm looking at so far.

This isn't set in stone, wouldn't mind cutting the price down. I plan on using the ssd for the os and games, possibly adding 2 more 4GB sticks of RAM for 16GB which i'm finding out might cause issues with using that cpu cooler with both fans attached. I also plan on adding a second GTX 570 at some point in the future. I would most likely need to upgrade the PSU correct?
Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated
