Intel i5 2500K (This i5 is actually better for gaming due to HT from virtual cores *in i7* it can make it a little choppier. DO NOT get a 2600K unless you plan on doing CAD/rendering etc. its literally a waste of an extra $115 for pretty much an almost unnoticeable difference) $215

GB Z68XP-UD3 $172

GTX570 or 7950 $359/$529

Creative PCI-E X-FI Xtreme Audio $64 (IMHO Motherboards now are more than capable of outputting the same quality audio)

Intel 520 120GB (The Intel 520s are one the best you can get in terms of their reliability/value) - $192

WD BLUE 2x1TB RAID 0 - 2x$105 - $210

16GB(8GBx2) Kit 1333 G-Skill Ripjaws-X $129 (if this is too much then 8GB is $79)

Any DVD drives are fine, there isn't any difference ~$20

For cases I would recommend the Corsair 600T ($200) for this build; but you can go for pretty much anything Mid to Full size

If you want an awesome Dell monitor the Ultrasharps are the BEST. You would probably have to order them from the Dell site. A friend of mine works at Dell gets them for cost price +1% @_@

H80 or H100 depending on what case you get (H100 obviously for full tower cases. H80 Can fit into either)

PSU Corsair HX750 *HX=modular* will be more than enough to run this beast - $188



*Feel free to ask me if you have any technical queries on any of the parts I chose for you
