Purchase date: Somewhere between now, and end of next month. I'm trying to watch for deals and order parts when websites have a component for some bucks off.
Budget range: I can be flexible on this, but $270ish is about the most I'd want to go.
Usage: I play TF2, Left 4 dead series, Bioshock series on a 1920 x 1080 monitor but also have a second 1280 x 1024 monitor that I browse the web or run a virtual machine on while in game. I'm also interested in going to a 3 monitor setup in the future.
Current GPU: Right now I'm currently running a Sapphire 4870 with a Xigmatek 750 watt PSU. This is on my AMD Phenom build which will cease to exist in the near future once I have all of the components for my Intel build.
System Specs for new build: Intel i5 2500k
MoBo will more than likely be this: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3

Ram should be 16 GB of this: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

I'm reusing my Xigmatek 750 PSU for this build.
This is going in a Antec 900 case.
Preferred sites: Newegg, TigerDirect, and possibly Amazon. I'm in the U.S.
No parts preference other than reputable manufacturers. I'm open to either ATI or Nvidia cards.
Overclocking is something I may dabble with at some point. Crossfire or SLI I would imagine is going to need to be a possibility in the future with my interest in going with 3 monitors at some point.
Monitor resolution: Any additional monitors that I add will be 1920 x 1080 with the intention of having three at this resolution.
So far I've been eyeing up a 560ti Nvidia card. Primarily this one: ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5
