1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, Photo/Video editing (not hardcore, just beginning to learn), internets
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
I'd like to stay around or under $1300
3) Where do you live?
Arizona
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.
Case, Mobo, CPU, GPU, PSU, SSD, aftermarket cooling
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Not reusing any parts
6) Will you be overclocking?
yes, it'll be my first time but I hear it is really easy with the SB chips
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
23" 1920x1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
One to Two weeks
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? etc.
Rear firewire port is a must, I'd like to SLI in the future but not immediately
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
I should mention that I am mainly doing this build for BF3 and I would like to be able to run it on high settings and it'd be nice to play BFBC2 on high for the time being. Please review and make recommendations where I could improve my build or just let me know in general if my build is solid. Here is my wish list so far;

I already purchased 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM. I really like EVGA if you didn't already notice. Thanks for any help!
