    I might end up going for the two graphics cards. From the list I have on NCIX which saved for me... *grins* Adding on a 24" monitor and a copy of Windows, which is needed *laughs* My total has been ran up to $1600 or so, but I think I might be able to swing it with some budgeting. Told my gram my plans and she wasn't too impressed, but hey, I'm 24, what can she do?

    Yeah, so since I don't wanna have to deal with trying to find another place up here to assemble my computer once I get the parts, I think I am gonna stick with NCIX for this one. I have the list of stuff I am planning on getting, and tell me if I need to change any of it.

    Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 7200RPM 32MB Dual Proc 3.5IN SATA Hard Drive
    LG GH22LS30 Black 22X SATA Lightscribe DVDRW
    Corsair XMS3 TR3X6G1333C9 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1333 CL 9-9-9-24 Core i7 Memory Kit
    EVGA E-GEFORCE GTS 250 756MHZ 512MB 2.2GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDTV Out Video Card Possibly 2 if I can afford it.
    Intel Core i7 920 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 2.66GHZ Bloomfield 8MB LGA1366 4.8GT/S
    EVGA X58 ATX LGA1366 DDR3 3PCIE-16 PCI-E1 2PCI SLI SATA2 eSATA Dual GBLAN Motherboard
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 32BIT
    OCZ GameXStream 700W ATX12V 24PIN SLI Ready Active PFC ATX Power Supply

    I have keyboard and mouse so that is fine.... And I have a second 20" nonwidescreen flatscreen monitor I can use as a second monitor. I currently have in a request with NCIX about the Tsunami case, if they could get it in or something, though that video on the mid tower armor case made that one look rather appealing. *shrugs*

    If you check the microsoft web site right now I think they are offering a special where if you buy windows vista, you will get the equal version of windows 7 when it releases. Like If you buy Vista ultimate, you get windows 7 Ultimate for free upon release. I myself just got done building a new pc for gaming. It ran about 1200 also, you can see what I got on the post that lists our rigs. I would totally recommend newegg also, thats where I got about 90% of my stuff. I got a liquid cooling system, it was my first time for that and really my first time building a complete PC. It isn't really that difficult. With all the instructions that come with everything I bet you can do it and save yourself some cash.
