Hello. I have been researching a lot and I keep getting so confused. I made a few builds. Anyway the main thing I am going to use this for is gaming, of course. Also something that I have to factor in is I will be moving this time to time. I will list more info using the "How to ask advice" thread.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 6-7 weeks from now
BUDGET RANGE: $1,000-$1,400
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming. The games I will be playing are Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, and other ultra graphical games.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com, or whatever site is cheaper.
PARTS PREFERENCES: Not any really. Whatever will get me the best performance.
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, but only if I don't need water cooling
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want a extra hard drive to have linux.
 
come back in 6-7 weeks, the closer the date you buy it the better we can appropriate the pricing/deals you can steal(don't make it to close make it about a week to a few days to get some good replies and gives you some space to look out for stuff
 

I know but I don't want to spend 2 weeks making sure I get all the good parts by the that time.
