Of all the posts here, wweeee is most on track.
I recently built my first custom desktop...
Case: NZXT Phantom - Black
Mobo: msi Z77A-G45
Processor: Intel i5 2500K
GPU: Radeon HD 6870
PSU: 750W Thermaltake 80+ Bronze
RAM: 16GB (2 x8) [I can up that to 32GB]
Hard Drive: 2TB 7200 RPM Sata 6
SSD: 60GB (Sold State Drive)
Two CD Drives
Monitor: Acer 1920 x 1080 (23")
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
I don't say you get the same thing I did, but it's a good setup. My only input is take the RAM down to 8GB and get a Solid State drive with at least 128 GB.
XFX Radeon HD 6870 in particular... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814150521 - Serious recommendation, this video card is awesome.
i5-2500K because the i7 is hardly any better, and just more expensive.
I'll stop here...
