Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next 6 months (I know, not exactly "approximate", but I could decide to build in the next week or wait, if that would be the better option).
Budget Range: $1200-1500. The closer to 1200 the better, but also willing to go a little over 1500.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (BF3/Skyrim/Witcher/SWTOR/GW2), Browsing, Music, etc.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS (Win 7 64-bit).
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: N/A
Overclocking: Eventually, maybe. Not 100% sure yet, though.
SLI or Crossfire: Probably not at first, but potentially in the future.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
Basically, I'm looking for the best "bang for my buck" and a setup that will last me a solid few years before becoming... obsolete? Heh.

PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W-$90
GPU: Radeon 7970 3 GB-$550
Note: Really looking for opinions here. Not sure whether I should wait for the 7970 or go with something else.

MoBo: ASRock Z68-$122
