Additional info:

1) What will you be doing with this PC?

Browsing the web, email, watching 1080p BluRay movies and 1080p YouTube videos. Possibly running a VMs at the same time. Engineering CAD Photoshop. Games.

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?

No budget, a complex combination of power, efficiency and cost effectiveness that wouldn't be efficient or worth the time to communicate.

3) Which country do you live in?

USA

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget?

See above

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?

Not reusing anything

6) Will you be overclocking?

Yes

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?

37" 1080p or at some point I might "upgrade" to a actual computer monitor @ 30" 2560 x 1600... haven't decided, but keeping my Westinghouse 37w3 running is free!

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

Many of the parts are already purchased, Building when I get back to Los Angeles from a business trip to Rochester NY next week.

9) What features do you need in a motherboard?

USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, Onboard video, i7 Ivy Bridge

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?

Yes. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Some additional info:

1) I would get a bigger HD, say 2 tb but I feel like the 1 tb HDDs are still more reliable. I have some incredibly sensitive data... data that I wouldn't want to lose.

2) Quiet and Power efficient modest overclocking is best (I know the Maximus V Extreme might be overkill but it has Thunderbolt)

3) This PC is being built with the future in mind. Some parts may seem overkill *now* (like the PSU) but this is so I can add dedicated video cards, more hard drives etc and not have to replace parts. I like quality

Please share your thoughts on the components and overall congruence achieved (or not achieved) with this build.

Also note that I am selling parts from my current build sig (which is probably incomplete and I'll update as time passes)

...Too late for comments now isn't it? You already bought them so any comments we make may inevitably require to return a part. Are you absolutely sure you want feedback on your parts? In other words, if you truly don't want to have to read our posts taking apart your build bit by bit and are unwilling to return parts, just forget this thread and be happy with your build. I can say for sure that you didn't buy crappy parts. So just be happy with that knowledge and walk away. If you're gonna keep trying to justify your purchases even we tell you that the purchases were bad choices, the thread won't end well.
