Well I have finally decided to upgrade to a better computer. I have a build right now that is not complete but just the basics.
Currently in this build is a cheaper video card but I really have no idea what I should be getting. I'm looking to run Crysis 2 on medium graphics and BF3 on medium or so with good FPS.The reason I went all out on the Motherboard is that in the future this will be SLI hopefully. And I don't want to really upgrade this computer for atleast a year or so. The order that this is place is the order of importance to me. The MOST important part of this computer is the ability to upgrade easily. I would love your input.
Another question im looking at is my moniter its max setting are 1440x900 60 Hz which is on the understand and this is not HDMI. So any input on that is good. This build I think (havn't checked) is around 900$ or and anything to make it a little cheaper without sacrificing to much power is great. Thanks
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Hard Core Gaming and web browsing
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
1000$ withtax and shipping
3) Where do you live?
Kansas The closest "store" that has any kind of parts that im looking for his in Kansas City which is about 100 miles away aswell so no microcenter is near
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.

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Not for sure yet
6) Will you be overclocking?
Yes
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
My current moniter which is 1440x900 60hz
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
within 2 months
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video? etc.
Crossifre/SLI, USB 3.0 not for sure about anything else
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
