Full size case antec
1000 watt psu antec
gtx 950 gpu
i7 940

Stuff I need it to do

SLI and and would also like it crossfire
Be able to watch blue ray with full 7.1 surround
usb 3
I have never overclocked a computer and probly never will but always seem to think I want to mess with it so a decent bios that is simple for over clocking.

parts I need
MoBo
ram
blue ray player
solidstate drive
cpu cooler for the i7 940

I would say Im willing to fork over 1500-2000 on it but if its only 500 then that would be awsome.

A s far as the i7 940 I got a good deal on it new 230 bucks but if there is a better way to go than that chip I can return it.

thanks

Well... the solidstate drive (SSD) would take a chunk of that $500 Though Kingston's supposedly got a boot drive (40 gb - enough for the OS and a couple most-used programs) at around $100. Don't expect massive capacity cheap. (insert SLC vs MLC info here, if at all interested, either's going to be faster than a standard hard drive.)

17 940 - socket LGA 1366 (important when finding your mainboard - not all 17s are 1366, some are lga 1156, such as the i7-860 I'm throwing in mine.) Cooler would be the last thing I'd buy - as depending on the mainboard and RAM (if they have heatsinks - specifically odd or tall ones - some coolers won't fit. Also depends on how much space there is between your mounted mainboard and cpu and the side of the case, and any internal ducting - my Sonata II's internal "wind tunnel" got pulled out early.)
