A friend seen my build and wants his own my first thought was hard forum before anything :)

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
High-End Gaming / Watching Blu-Ray Movies
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$2,500 with tax/shipping
3) Where do you live?
San Jose, 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.
HDD, SSD, Ram, Psu, Mobo, Monitor, Dvd Rom, Case, Gpu, Cooling for Gpu/Cpu
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
i7 2600k CPU
6) Will you be overclocking?
Of course
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
24" HD Monitor
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within 1 week
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
Firewire / Crossfire / 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?
Win 7 64bit


notes*

The SSD will only be needed to boot windows

Nothing below 2TB of HDD

Might be switching to a dual or triple monitor in the near future so dual gpu is a must in this build

My buddy also noted that quality and *eye candy* is ideal in this build so im thinking an aggressive looking case *must have a side window on the case* also noted the ASUS Maximus Extreme Mobo would match the Black/Red theme for this build that mobo isn't a must though,
