Hello everyone. So a little background for those of you so inclined: I've been using a computer powered by a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (at stock speed) with 4 Gigs of RAM, and a GeForce 8800GT since December of 2007, so I'm itching to build a new system. I really want(ed) to wait for Ivy Bridge and to see what kind of performance Nvidia's Kepler cards have to offer, but I realize that there's always something new just over the horizon, so I won't let myself be stuck into that waiting game. However, at this point, the game I'm most looking forward to playing on my new system is Diablo III. If Diablo III is released after Ivy Bridge, I plan to wait, if not, I'm buying as soon as I've heard a release date.
Thanks for all your time and help!
Approximate Purchase Date: 3/16 or sometime in May
Budget Range: $1400-$1600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Photo/Video Editing, Movies, Etc.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Always used Newegg, but open to others
Country: U.S.
Parts Preferences: I've decided to stick with Intel
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 (with the possibility of purchasing a second monitor by Summer)
Additional Comments: I plan to use my current Samsung SyncMaster 226BW initially. But I'll be purchasing an HP LP2475w within a couple of weeks after building. I would love to have an SSD boot drive for at least the OS.
[edit] My bad, let me add a link to the parts I currently am mulling (in case I do purchase this week): My Build
