Build me a new system

[rav3n]

Hey all im after a new system based around the lga775 socket becuase in my country the i7 and x58 mobo's are to expensive. I have already decided the cpu will be a core 2 quad. The rest im undecided on. I will be mainly gaming and pumping some tunes with it. My budget is around 2500. Can anyone recommend me some parts?

Ok to be more specific i'll be buying parts over the next 2 weeks. I will be overclocking and running sli or crossfire depending on the card in the future. I dont need a monitor case keyboard mouse or optical drive. Native resolution is 1920 x 1080 hd.

Not really. The cheapest cpu i want is $459. im expecting the mobo and ram to be between 250-400 dollars. Graphics cards seeing as its a gaming pc will definately cost the most, probably around $500-$750. So when you add it up it will come out around the $2500 mark.
