-Mainly Gaming

-Willing to pay what it takes to have a long lasting desktop
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.

Started to build online with Newegg on the Dec 2nd
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
Want to have a MOBO that will last a few years due to this is going to be a Desktop i want for some time. USB 3. SLI supported.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
No but want to use a 64 bit Windows 7 (Have on my laptop and enjoy it)
I'm forward deployed with the Marines and have nothing better to do but build a Desktop at the moment. Never have but want to learn how to OC, RAID, SLI...all that fun stuff. I know a moderate amount on computers and have done some research on the listed items below. All seems pretty high end due to i want to keep this for some time and still be able to grab some stuff later on. Any suggestions/advice for the items below. Thanks for the help.
