my goal is to play games like World of Warcraft, call of duty, starcraft, diablo, fallout 3, and mostly fps games and not have to worry about any issues coming up. i would like to run the games at max setting with no hiccups.
any suggestions would be awesome and thanks for all the help http://www.computerforum.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Looks good. You don't need to spend the money on a 1TB Black drive though, just go for a cheap one. Your intensive applications would be going on the SSD, and even those that aren't would see a minimal performance boost from the faster 1TB drive, if any.

That's actually a really good set of parts. If I were making a new build, I'd probably go for that same motherboard and CPU, though I'd most likely get a GTX 480 or the next gen of Fermi when they come out.

As Daedalus said, the hard drive might be a bit overkill, but you know what you need more than we do. =p

That looks good. The only thing i would change is the RAM sticks if you ever plan on overclocking. I have those exact same Ripjaws and they suck at anything over their rated speed.

If you could afford it, i would go with a GTX 480 instead of the 5870 if you want the absolute best performance. It would raise your cost about $100 over the 5870. Maybe this:

I'd stay away from that SSD, get a vertex if you want something fast/ not overly expensive. Might also want to shop around though and get some components from different stores.
