    Alright gentlemen, I think I'm done building this thing, but I'd like some input from people probably a bit more experienced than me before committing to buy. :)
    Everything's coming from newegg, and the pricetag is $991 atm, perfect for my $1k goal.
    Monitor: POS old lcd, to be replaced eventually, but that's not in my budget atm.
    Goal: WoW/Sims3/Aion/SCII max graphics and smooth gameplay.


    Processor: Phenom II x4 955 (I've heard the 955 is superior/equal to the 965 once it's overclocked.)
