-Will be used for gaming, primarily. Will be playing basically anything I can get my hands on. Ranging from FTL to Planetside 2 to End of Nations to World of Warplanes to GW2.
- Also would like to use to live stream.
-Looking to spend around $1500-$2000 taxes and shipping inc.
-Buying parts in Canada.
-Have no brand preference other than Intel and WD.
-Will be using Monitors, keyboard and mouse, optical drive, OS and sound card from current PC. Turning the current PC into a server, and will just use a KVM to switch between the two.
-I have been doing a lot of research. I have prepared a PC Part Picker list that I will link below. Have not picked a video card, but am debating between a GTX 670 and a 7970. Currently have the preferable GTX 670 in my list, but am still not decided on that or a 7970.
-Hoping to OC the i5 to around 4.4 - 4.5 Ghz. Also will overclock my video card as soon as possible. I am very comfortable overclocking. Don't plan on overclocking RAM, as it only costs roughly $10-$15 more to buy 16GB of DDR3 2133 over DDR3 1600.
-Will be buying/building end of November/early Dec.
-Run 1920x1080. No 3D. Run two monitors now, thinking of expanding to three monitors in 2013.
-Needs to have:
-USB 3.0
-SSD
-Quiet Case
Current rig:
Asus Rampage Formula Motherboard
Q9450 @ 3.4 Ghz
8GB DDR2 800
WD Caviar Black 500GB HDD
MSI GTX 570
Asus Xonar DX Sound Card(Using in new PC)
Here is what I have thus far:

The only thing I am dead set on is the case. I have always wanted a SilverStone case, and this one makes my tummy feel fuzzy and makes my beard grow quickly.
Was thinking about the Sapphire HD 7970 Ghz Vapor-X.. but those are never in stock, unfortunately.
Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
