Doing my first build in early February. Please check parts for compatibility etc. Any and all advice is appreciated!
Approximate Purchase Date: First Weekend in February (Some things may change as the date gets closer but for the most part things will stay the same)

System Usage: Gaming, Blu-Ray, Video Streaming, Internet, Office
Parts Not Required: Speakers, Monitor
Preferred Websites: Newegg, Amazon (doesn't much matter to me)
Country: USA
Parts Preference: Intel CPU, nvidia GPU
Overclocking: Maybe in the future (will upgrade cooling if I decide to... but won't be for a while-probably at least a year)
SLI/Crossfire: Maybe in the future, not right away (Probably a year or two away)
Monitor Resulution: Currently I have a 1440x900, but will be connecting the new rig to an 1080p hdtv.
