He can buy most of his parts now.
But he shouldn't get the best GPU right now, Since the 58xx series are coming.
Nevermind

Since I'm getting the antec 1200 I would just stay with air cooling and get some more fans.

To replace the CPU heatsink?
Also what is a good CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive to get?
More stuff (seriously?): I would need a wireless card... i dont have the modem connected to my pc now so i would not get it later... and also would i need a sound card?
P.S. Thanks for the help so far.
Such a high budget needs 3D gaming
Get this:

But it's only compatible with Nvidia video cards, so I'll let you decide.....

LOL smart choice :) but i am getting an ATI i wish they had ati software but oh well
Supposibly, there will be a 5870x4... get it and you'll jizz.
You don't need to spend that much cash. You can get top shit for a thousand dollars less.
Well my budget has been rudced to $2500 so thats what sucks also i cant get a 30 in monitor so can someone tell me what a good 20 - 25 in monitor would be?
Get the haf 932 instead.

Shit, why haven't i ever seen this... It looks better than the antec, its cheaper, and its slightly bigger.
Go with a 21.5" or 23" monitor and i7 with an ATI 5 series card. i9s aren't due until the first half of 2010.
Antec 1200 is slightly larger than the HAF.
