Intel or amd ? what chip are you running ? ...for example when i ordered my pc i researched parts on newegg for the 2500k chip and then under the feedback tab i read the pc setups from other people. that give me a clue on what to expect and buy ...

always read the feedback .. newegg costumers give are accurate and helpful feedback on their experiences ...give or take on a few blue and red fan bois trolls ..

My proposed config is as followes

AMD 3.1 Am3+ fx8120
Gpu HD 7850 (intend to crossfire later)
gskill snipper 2 * 4gb Ram
Corsair gs 800
coolermaster HAF 922

not decided about the motherboard but it should be pce 3

 
I don't think there is an AM3+ motherboard that has PCI-E 3.0 support. If you want those motherboard you have to go to the Z77, Z68, etc motherboards and buy an ivy bridge or buy a X79 motherboard with a sandy bridge-e processor. But yes AM3+ motherboards will support PCI-E 3.0 cards well. This is a good Motherboard that I'm going to buy with that configuration:

oh yes, if you want gaming, go get an i5-2500k :).
