build help, $650 budget

[f1y]

Haven't built a system since C2Ds were released. I still rock a e6400 release cpu, and 8 gbs DDR2.

I need to build a new PC that is around 650. Shipping and all +-50

I live in the US.

I need a case, psu, motherboard, ram, cpu

I have Harddrives,optical drives, keyboard, mouse, and montior

I could reuse my case, and my 8800GTX, but I'd like something that could handle some gaming. Not sure if the 8800 is still a valid chip for skyrim, cod, and BF3. I'd really like a new case as mine is a piece of shit.

I have a 28" 1920x1080 monitor

I have harddrives, lots of harddrives. My PC has mainly been used as an HTPC in the living room for the past 2 years.

I added a build to my cart for $668 for a an AM3 8core, 8GBs of ram, 650PSU, case, and gigabyte motherboard that was all black and sweet looking.

Seemed high for no GFX card.

Use will be 60% HD video player, 30% gaming, 10% remote managment/work

You're definitely getting a new case and GPU then.

Thats because AMD is a tad overpriced at the moment. For a gaming setup, your best bet would be an Intel setup.

Please answer the following questions:
6) Will you be overclocking?
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
