Sale for what ends today? That's just for the extra $10 discount. The $30
rebate has been there for a long time.

The BloodRage GTI is still available, and offers both Crossfire/SLI but you've chosen an ATI card, so you'll never need SLI.

If you have the money, I would get a Core i7 920.

If the budget gets too tight, get a Core i5 750. That's a different motherboard though.

That's debatable.

920 is socket 1366, fits the motherboard you chose.

860 is socket 1156, would not work with your current board.

Here's a link to a black PSU if interested:

Just fyi, i had the black one in my post as well as the red one:p

Personally i love the red one and think it looks pretty nice, again opinions vary on it however.

If your budget allows, this gpu is quite a bit more powerful as well as DX11:

The 920 will be overall faster, because the other is 1156 and would require you to go with dual channel instead of triple channel memory. Again, if you live near a microcenter the i7 920 is $199;)

There isn't a microcenter nearby. Looked around on google and didn't find anything better price. I guess i am also going to need a good speaker system, my whole garage is filled with old speakers but most of them are just too horrible :). I am sure a logitech speakers will be what i want?

Yeah they're really great for the price. I have the Logitech X-530 and wouldn't change a thing. (Newegg has the X-540), even better!

FYI, I know. That's where I got the link.

It was all jumbled into the same mess, and you stated the link was for the red one,
so I posted it separately, just in case the OP would have preferred it.

Moving on...
