Hello,
It's finally time to upgrade to a new PC. What better place toask than the experts here!
Approximate Purchase Date: I plan to purchase this computer in he next couple weeks. I may wait longer depending on information about the new kepler chips releasing.
Budget Range: somewhere around $1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: for the most part I will use this as a gaming rig for the next 4 years or so.
Parts Not Required: I don't really need speakers, but I may grab a set eventually. I also don't think I will have a need for a mouse or keyboard. <3 my mx518.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I will use newegg mostly unless there is amazing prices.somewhere else.
Country: US
Parts Preferences: I am an intel/nvdia kind of guy. I also plan on getting a corsair psu
Overclocking: Maybe.
SLI or Crossfire: Eventually.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
Here is what I am looking at right now.
CPU: i7 2600k, but it there isn't a huge upgrade I may drop to the i5 2500k.
Mobo: asrock z68 extreme3 gen3.

This mobo looked good with some nice features like pcie 3.0. Any help with another mobo that would work better? Any reviews on this one?
Case: Lian Li all the way!

Graphic: this I am stuck on. I plan to wait for the new kepler cards to be released, but I hat the waiting game! Is there any nice options I can get for now, bit then upgrade with the evga upgrade program?
PSU: This is another pickle I am stuck with. I know I will get a corsair modular psu, but I am not sure about the amount of power I will use. Here is the 1050 watt I am looking at now.
