I'm building a new computer and just wanted to get opinions to make sure the parts I chose are good and that I'm not missing anything.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming / Web Browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
About $1300 including tax and shipping.
3) Where do you live?
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, HSF, PSU, GPU, Mobo, Ram, HD, SSD, DVD-Drive, Keyboard, Mouse
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
None
6) Will you be overclocking?
Mild OC
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Already have 2 x 23" Asus VH236H @ 1920 x 1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within the next week
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
USB 3.0, Sata 6Gb/s
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Win7 64bit


Without further ado, here's what I've chosen:

Case: NZXT Phantom 124.99
CPU: Intel i5-2500k 219.99
HSF: Cooler Master Hyper 212+ 28.73
Mobo: MSI P67A-G43 129.99

Someone did their research. Build looks solid to me. Only thing I would swap out if you want a better warranty is a XFX HD 6950 2GB.

You can shave off $6 by going with this DVD burner instead:

I'd spend the extra $10 for a longer warranty and better customer support:

Other than that, looks good to me.

I suggest not cluttering the OP's thread. Bump your old thread or make a new one. I just about barely understood this post of yours...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll go for the XFX 6950 2gb and the Sony DVD burner
