Additional Comments: Have a build one already that's around 1950$ and it will be in the link below, let me know if i messed up on anything as well. Looking to play all the recent games on Ultra (Diablo 3, GW2, and so on). Also want to stream the games and multi task. I will possibly Cross fire/SLI in the future and buy the same GPU.

merueth's build looks ok. the only thing i would change is the motherboard to a gigabyte z77x-ud5h, and the video card. the ud5h has a bit more features than the extreme6

for the video card, here are some other options

gigabyte windforce 670
evga ftw 670
asus top edition 670 (although this model has a lot of bad reviews)
msi twin frozer 4 670 (good looks in my opinion
