First I would like to start by saying Thank you for taking time to read and/or give feedback.
Approximate Purchase Date: September 21, 2012
Budget Range: 900
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None.
Location: DFW, Texas, USA
Parts Preferences: Best Price/Performance
Overclocking: NO
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe/Yes
Your Monitor Resolution: I have to buy a monitor so the resolution is up for grabs.
Additional Comments: I am playing WoW:MoP and Dota 2. I dont plan on settings graphics displays on Ultra high, but also not on low. There will also be some multi tasking such as pandora/browsing. Would it still be beneficial to run SLI/Crossfire without overclocking? If so I would be interested in a MoBo with the the option to upgrade later. I would also prefer a SSD with just enough memory for OS and main applications if that would help smooth things over. I already have mouse/keyboard.
Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80637i53350P

I was hoping to center my build around this cpu, however, I am not the expert here so if you think anything here is irrational let me know why and offer the alternative. You have the information now go forth and build AWESOMENESS!
