This is the first computer Ive built and I spent a few months researching and created almost 10 systems just to start over again.. I decided im going to postpone SLI and PCIe for now. Also, I should mention that im not planning on overclocking anything since I feel I dont know enough yet to take a chance to o/c high dollar parts. But I am officially placing my order wednesday and I need an expert opinion. Also, this system will be solely for gaming(for a year or two atleast)

I plan on buying a LCD monitor but Im going to order that at the last minute if I can find a decent one under $400. So it more than likely will have a 17" 19" 1280x1024 native resolution if that matters. Ive been using a 15" dell ultra sharp laptop so I wouldnt mind playing that resolution unless it bottlenecks somthing above.
Im trying to stay at that budget and if there is any part that should be downgraded or upgraded please tell me. Any help would be greatly appreciated and please dont hold back :laugh:
