I have never attempted to buy or build any pc parts ever. I feel like assembling it with help from the newegg tutorials will be easy enough to at least give this a go.
My current budget is not a dollar over $900.00. If I could get something like this (or even better!) around $800.00, that would be a good idea. See, I have an extra $500.00 for this build in a few weeks, but I do not want to wait and would rather upgrade or just settle. (I don't really do or look for rebates.)
Here are the parts I have came up with; [Prices are calculated after discounts etc]

The theme of the build is entirely gaming high end. Most games ultra settings with around 50-70fps. I am still missing a good HDD (need suggestions) and am open to any revisions. I do think however the GPU is the best value for what I want right now, at least for a few more hours until the $40.00 off goes away. I also am not sure if an aftermarket fan is necessary.
Should you feel an entire revision is a better idea, then I will just post the new build form here to help out in any way possible. I seriously appreciate your guys' help.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within 12 hours.
Budget Range: $700.00-$900.00 total after shipping (not interested in rebates).
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming high end, multimedia (music, movies).
Are you buying a monitor: No thanks.
Parts to Upgrade: All.
Do you need to buy OS: No thanks.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.newegg.com, but open to others. I just want all parts to be from the same place for easier and lower shipping prices (assuming it works that way).
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU is my only preference.
Overclocking: If it is safe, easy, and won't be more costly.
SLI or Crossfire: No thanks.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: Generally aiming for ultra settings @ 60~ fps for games such as WoW, Diablo 3, Dark Souls, and various steam games. In my top wall of text, I have listed a case I really like, as it looks nice and seems like a really good deal. But any case with some awesome lighting and easy enough for a noob to build in will be fine. I am very open!
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm quitting console gaming and becoming a man.
