This is my "soon-to-be" computer so far. It's for gaming of course. I'm not going to immediately overclock, but apparently from someone advices me to overclock for the "good" of my computer to last. I still want to overclock anyways as soon as I learn to.
Also, most parts aren't for sure, there are room for improvement. Every part ex. mobo will always have at least two choices and I need your help to choose them for me. Right now. I'm aiming to go for $700-800 if possible, could range to about $1000 but prefer not to... As soon as I have all parts and calculated, I might upgrade even further so ALL parts you want to list or advice will be heard.

Others:
- May need extra fans because of the Diablotek, don't really know. LAWLCATS.
- I have a 24" or was it 26" LCD TV as a monitor
- No need for Keyboard&Mouse atm
- Not sure about the soundcard if I need it. People say mobo's already have soundcard. May get speakers though.
- Already have a version of W7
- That's all right?
