Approximate Purchase Date: Within 7 days
Budget Range: $600-$700 before Mail-In Rebates, but after Instant Rebates/Discounts
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Playing Diablo 3 (and a few other new games), Web Browsing, Data processing (MS Excel and Access). Something that will be useable for games for at least 2 years or so with minimal to no upgrades .
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor (1280x1024 currently but will be upgrading in the next month or so), speakers, OS, case (currently have NZXT Lexa that I would be willing to reuse, though would prefer a good $50-$70 alternative new case for this build)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, us.ncix.com (really any site with good service/prices to US customers)
Country: United States
Parts Preferences: No Preferences, any reputable brand is fine
Overclocking: Maybe, but not required and wouldn't be extreme by any means
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but again not required.
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024 currently but would like to upgrade to a 1920x1080 monitor in the next month or so

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 960T $125
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB $47
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ $81
Hard Drive 1: SanDisk Extreme 120 GB 2.5" SSD $129

Video Card: XFX ATI Radeon 6850 $145
Power Supply: OCZ ModXstream Pro 600W $70
Case: My current NZXT Lexa. If there's a good case in the $50-$70 range I wouldn't mind picking up another case.
Total: $597
