Updated your list for lower price and higher performance/reliability. Also removed some unneeded features.

Whenever someone says "What parts should I get?" I always reply with the same answer. SO:

-How much are you willing to spend?
-Do you want quality or lower price?
-Are you going to do any GPU or CPU overclocking?
-Is it for developing, gaming, or both?
-Do you plan to take it places like LAN parties or sit on your floor for months?
-Do you plan to expand on your system if your budget is too low or upgrade in the future?
-Do you REALLY care a shit ton on your case?
>If so, are you willing to spend a little extra time customizing a cheap case?

Answer these and I can help you decide what you want.

He said he got 6k to spend O_O

Spending 6,000 on a computer would be absolutely retarded considering you can get top of the line shit for 2k

I've currently got a computer running Infinity cross fire cards. All the good stuff and I spent like what? Maybe 2 or 3k. Runs the best games perfect at high settings.
