1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
I plan on using this computer for mostly gaming, MMORPGS such as Aion, Guild Wars 2, Diablo III, etc

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
I'd like to stay under 900 if possible, although lower to 800 is better

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

I live in Sacramento, CA

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
-SSD
-Processor
-Ram
-DVDRW
-PSU
-Video Card
-Motherboard
-Wireless Card (If possible integrated into mono would be cool)
-Webcam

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.

-23" Samsung Monitor (Gaming at 1920x1080
-Logitech Speakers
-Logitech Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

6) Will you be overclocking?
Nope

7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
23" 1920x1080

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Tomorrow

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)? etc.
I don't need raid, or firewire. SLI/Crossfire support is cool if it doesn't increase price. USB 2.0 is fine, SATA 6gb would be nice for the SSD

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes I do with a MSDN license. Windows 7 64 bit Professional


I really appreciate any help you guys give. Thanks so much.
 
Is the SSD going to be your sole form of storage on that PC?
 
Yup. I only need space for Win 7 and 1-2 of those games at a time. I don't really store much else and I use Spotify for music and Netflix for movies. I was hoping to grab a 120-128gb SSD.

Total: $894 shipped.

I went with Amazon.com as much as possible as they do not charge CA residents tax like Newegg does. If you don't have Amazon Prime, all of the listed parts still have "FREE Super Saver Shipping." Hence the $894 shipped price is assuming that you're using that Free shipping offer.

That looks like a great build. I had something very similar. I put together everything you listed and change to a logitech webcam.

I went ahead and ordered it. Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
