system has been crashing, typically once a day, so looking to upgrade. I have not been in touch with the latest, I believe Ivy bridge is the latest? Is triple channel recommended? What speed memory channel? thanks!

1) What will you be doing with this PC?
Gaming, browsing

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
600 to 1k

3) Which country do you live in?
Atlanta

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget?

CPU, board, memory, PSU

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?
Drives, GPU (6970), accessories

6) Will you be overclocking?
No

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
24" 1920x1080

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
before christmas

9) What features do you need in a motherboard?

USB 3

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
yes, 64bit W7
 
Triple channel is no longer needed or recommended these dayas.

What case will you be using?
What's the likelihood of you being able to buy parts today?

I ask because there's an extremly good PSU that you should get in on as soon as you read this:
$90 - Seasonic X650 Gold 650W Modular PSU

Simply put, it's one of the best bang for the buck PSU deals out now.
 
Still waiting for an answer to my other two questions.
 
Thanks man, appreciate the help. picked everything up today, will be good times shortly :)
