Hey all, looking to build a new computer within the next few weeks. I haven't built a computer for about 4 years now and am just looking to get my legs back. Anyway, how does this look so far?

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Do not care about quiet components. I am also torn on the GPU, when looking at benchmarks it looks like the GTX 480 is the better buy between it and the HD 6950, but I do see a lot more suggestions for the 6950, why is this? The case is not decided on yet, but I will just tack that cost on after.
