Greetings!
I have been browsing online for a forum with members willing to offer some consultation and I wound up here
!
I'm not super concerned about budget but I am always glad to save money! I start my new permanent position at AT&T April 7th and I should have a decent amount of extra cash on May 5th (About 800$ if everything works out, then another 800$ to put into it in June [I can always pick up parts over time to get more for the budget depending on the numbers we figure out]) but I would like it to be finished by August completely (Money sucks doesn't it!), so I plan on keeping this post open until I order all of the hardware and materials! I will also list external hardware I already own and what I still need but I will be building the desktop from scratch purely as a gaming/streaming and rendering machine. I estimate my first shipment will be a few days after May 5th and I make sure everything is payed off for the month.
• Where are you located?
Upstate New York
• What is your budget?
800$ monthly May-August (2400$ total[considering waiting to do one lump order])
• Will you need a monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse included in that budget?
I own an Optoma HD20, Naga Razer but will need a sound system and keyboard (My naga covers my gaming needs so I can get a regular old LED keyboard)
• Shall you be requiring an OS?
I own a copy of Windows 7 Pro
• What will you be using this rig for?
Gaming, streaming and rendering.
• If gaming, what resolution will you be playing at?
The HD20 Max is 1920x1080 (I can pull a 2560 a month or so after it is built which I can do on my own.
• Will you be overclocking?
Yes.
• Do you need a full build or will you be reusing some old parts?
From scratch!
It is fair to say that the fact that I am on this forum entails I have experience with computers, I have just been so out of the loop the past 4 years that I need some assistance.
Thank you in advanced! As we determine parts I will be posting the build as we go (as well as updating parts as we need) and unless there will be any mobo's coming out in the next month or two worth waiting for that'd be a great place to start obviously.
Call me nuts but I want to go with this case,

You could install the worlds biggest cpu sync on that xD no issue on GPU lengths, I'm aware of dust but I game in a clean room and do not smoke near my systems.
