How should I build 1500$ Gaming Desktop?
Approximate Purchase Date: within two weeks
Budget Range: 1200 - 1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Game, School, Movie
Parts Not Required: speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: intel chip
Overclocking: Maybe, I don't really have an idea of this
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

especially thank ervinelim for him to answer my last question
I do not have a very clear conception of everything I chose. Some of them maybe a waste and some may not be compatible. And I have some questions, I hope there is somebody to optimize my choices.
1. Is i7-2600 a big difference from i5-2500? is it worth it?
2. Which one better meets my need for GPU, Nvidia or AMD?
3. Is Crossfire too luxurious/SLI for my budget?
Will anyone give me some advice?
