Approximate Purchase Date: Within a month
Budget Range: $750-1000 after shipping and taxes
System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming, College work (this starts in about a year), Regular school work (I'm in my senior year)
Are you buying a monitor: yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, but i am having difficulty deciding if i should wait for windows 8 ir stick to windows 7.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.newegg.com
Location: Norfolk, Nebraska, USA
Parts Preferences: For main components (cpu, motherboard, etc) i prefer intel. For other parts i have no preference.
Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, if i pick a motherboard that supports it.
Additional Comments: I may water cool at a later time, however with the case i chose its not really necessary. The games i would like to be able to play would be Skyrim (on high or ultra settings), MW3 (on high or ultra settings) and Blacklight: Retribution.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: At the moment my only computer is a $300 walmart laptop, but know that i have a steady income, i can build my own gaming laptop.

I would like to add a Wi-Fi card instead of my motherboards default one, but im not sure how. My main question is this: "Will all of the selected components work together and if not, may i get replacement ideas while keeping the same case (No non-ATX ideas)?"
