Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as you guys help me figure out if this setup works and if it's worth it. Or within the next month.
Budget Range: $1500 at the very most and preferably closer to $1250 (which means I gotta cut something unfortunately, possibly the SSD entirely, or just cheaper parts, or wait until things come down)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (on awesome graphics mode), surfing the internet
Parts Not Required: Completely new computer so I need all the parts
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, amazon.com
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Things that will keep me from buying new parts for awhile
Overclocking: Maybe?
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe?
Monitor Resolution: I'll buy the monitor locally but it'll be 1920x1200 at least
Additional Comments: Never built a computer before so I'm very inexperienced at all of this. And as I said these parts come to over $1500 and I'd like it to be closer to $1250 so that I can spend $175-200 on the monitor.
