3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible: Cameron Park, California.

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need: case, cpu, gpu, memory, hdd, optical drive, psu, Wlan, monitor.

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? end of August early September

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc: dont know

Thank you guys for all your help, and i will keep an eye on this post if you guys have any questions. It has been several years since i have built a computer like this, and i am quite lost with all the new stuff that is available these days.
