Gaming Desktop - Budget $1600
Please do not include monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Those are things I will purchase super amazing versions of after my build is complete.
Note: Must have x64 of course. I'm looking to possibly have two video cards depending on how hard it is to set up. This build will be used primarily for music, gaming (WoW and others), and I want it to be able to burn anything I want and probably have at least a DVD-RW for secondary. (I know overkill overkill.) I have to connect wirelessly so if you recommend a built in wireless card over a USB wireless adapter, please include that in your specs. Don't really care about AMD vs. Intel I'm looking to hear some good arguments either way. Go!

I second Daisymtc but would change a few things.
Are you just listening to music if so don't worry about the sound card. You could go with some g-skill memory. Even a p55 board with a 1156 socket i7.
