Budget: 600$ish "under the hood"
Country: USA
Use: Games, Programming, Productivity, Internet
Purchase Date: ASAP
Purchase Locations: Newegg, Amazon (I have Prime), open to others to get price down (do not forget to include shipping), monitor from us.ncix.com only
Overclocking: Probably not
SLI/Crossfire: Probably not
Upgrades: I would like to be able to upgrade the Video Card and Processor (to a Bulldozer chip sometime) easily
Comments: First time piecing together entire system, have worked on prebuild ones before so if you see any problems let me know. I want it to be able to drive a 1920x1080 well. I planned out a i5 system, but it lacked an upgrade path. This AM3+ system should be better in that regard.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition - 105$
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 - 98$
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 - 52$
Video Card: GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GV-N56GSO-1GI GeForce GTX 560 - 200$ (Before 20$ Rebate)
Hard Drive + Optical: DVD Burner + 1TB HD - 70$
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts EA-650 GREEN 650 - 70$ (Before 20$ Rebate)
Case: Xigmatek ASGARD II - 30$
Total: 625$ Before 40$ in Rebates

Any suggestions or would this work?
