Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg but I'm not that picky, just familiar with it.

Country: America

Parts Preferences: intel

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, I've not read up on this enough to know if it would be worth investing in.

Monitor Resolution:I'd like a nice resolution, but I'll also be playing on a high def 64 inch flat screen

Additional Comments: Build purpose is to last me 6+ years without having to do any heavy upgrading while still being able to run at a decent speed.
I could do with a new monitor but it isn't required, preferred os would be windows 7 but I have xp. I'm not planning on running dual video cards but I wouldn't say I won't.


I feel like I'd be willing to cut back on my graphics card if someone had a good alternative to it for a better price as the 500 is kind of steep, but I'd quite like to have the i7 and motherboard unless there is better for an equivalent price. As for everything else, I'm looking around but I'd like a little help finding compatible parts if possible. My budget is not set in stone but I'd like to be around the 1500 dollar range if at all possible.
