Thanks for helping,

Honestly it doesn't make any sense at all to choose parts now, in 2 months already prices will be way different to what currently they are, better ask the question again in 6 months when you have the money.

Only thing I could add here, if you plan to eventually do SLI/Crossfire, most likely you'll need a bigger case than a a mATX case. (even for a single graphics card a mATX might not be enough depending which GPU is bought).

I agree on waiting til you have the cash ready to go. We might have the next gen Intel processors out, in 6 months. I believe that AMD's new GPU's will be out by then too.
