Immediately
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Already picked one, unless you can find a better one for a lower price (see above)
need room for extra video card for physics for later but not now
3 hdds one for OS one for Gaming and one for general storage
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Windows 7 home premium x64 (everything must be compatible with windows seven)
-other thoughts:
may buy sound card later, motherboard audio should be fine, cant buy creative until they fix the damn 64 bit ram issue
-will upgrade video when I have the money and add second card for physics only, no sli. what size PSU should I use?
-any suggestions to save money without sacrificing capability are welcome.
