Approximate Purchase Date: Soon, this week possibly. Would it be better to wait?
Budget Range: $1500 a little more is ok.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, HD Movies, Schoolwork, Other random stuff
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, speakers, mouse, monitor (I want a new one but its going to have to wait)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Preferably amazon because of no tax and free shipping, but things that are out of stock on amazon I can go to newegg or maybe tiger direct.
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Intel CPU and preferably top of the line video card like the gtx 580. Also I would REALLY like a mid tower so it can fit underneath my desk, but i want it to be kind of a big mid tower so it has good cooling and can fit a good cpu cooler and gtx 580
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in future.. probably not.
Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050 right now but in the future 1920x1050.
Additional Comments: I'm kinda undecided on the case and cpu cooler. I'm having a hard time choosing these two because for one i'd prefer a mid tower, but i want it to be big enough to fit a decent cpu cooler. And at the same time, i'd prefer the cpu cooler actually doesn't interfere with my motherboard or ram slots and the such.
Parts I have in mind (Any insight or suggestions on these would be helpful):

I would like to keep it inexpensive for the most part. Probably right around 110 max for a case. Maybe HAF 922, CM II 690 advanced? Need a lot of advice on a good mid tower reasonably priced.
