Additional Comments:
A quiet PC would be a plus.
I enjoy playing MMORPGs like WoW and FF14. I also play some modern games like Tombraider. I know MMOs are not the most demanding games, but at 3440x1440 100hz-120hz on Ultra/High settings, they can become challenging to run. I've been gaming at 1440p medium settings at 40-60 fps with my current build.
Why Are You Upgrading: I want to replace my current aging build and take advantage of my new Dell Alienware 1900R. I would like to game a 100hz-120hz on Ultra/High settings.
Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts.
I took some suggestions from this website: Logical Increments http://www.logicalincrements.com/ and came up with some parts along with some of my own choices. Their "Outstanding ($1470)" build seems to fit my budget and performance goals.

Still playing around with combinations and budget. This is just a base start I borrowed from the website. I will most likely try to wait for some better deals come Christmas. My biggest concern is overbuilding or spending too much or too little on specific components. The parts I have most trouble choosing are the mobo, ram, power supply, and GPU. Please leave any suggestions and thank you.
