APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Next week or two BUDGET RANGE: Around 700, can go more possibly, would like to stay around 700 though.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:Gaming, surfing web, that's about all I do
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor possibly(I would like to upgrade though..I'm using a 19in widescreen 1440x900), mouse, keyboard, speakers, HDD, maybe case
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US
PARTS PREFERENCES: AMD, ATI
OVERCLOCKING: Probably not, but maybe(ive never done it) Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe crossfire later on
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440x900 is my current monitor, but I would like to upgrade
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm using a geforce 6800 and amd athlon 3200+ that is just not cutting it on current games...I gotta have better performance

Powersupply..I assume my antec 350w is not enough, I'm tempted to get a 750w in case I go crossfire later on, but if I don't I assume I could save money by getting a 500w or 550w

I could be going overkill here, so please tell me if I am and could go cheaper on some things. If I include the case and monitor I have listed then this build is around a grand.
