I am finally looking into getting my PC built after being delayed from earlier this year due to money problems.   But those problems are behind me now and I am looking to get my Gaming Rig built.  I have decided to get this instead of a new 3D Plasma

So with that in mind  where do I start?  I don't technically have a budget I need to adhere to. I just want something that can play any game at the max settings, but then something that a year or two down the road wont be a pain in the ass to upgrade. Even if its something as simple as adding a second GPU or more RAM. Maybe this isn't a possibility,  just more of a hope I guess. Monitor should not an issue since I will be using my 52" Samsung 1080p LCD.

As for a starting point,  I was originally looking at the "More Power" box setup on the first page. But alot has changed since then and some of the components maybe out of date or no longer available and I would like an upgraded list for what is listed there.  Some of the motherboards listed didn't seem to have enough slots if I wanted to add something like a wireless network card and a sound card. But then again since I really don't know much about the components I may be mistaken. I know I didn't like any of the towers that were picked out,  but I did like a couple Antec ones I saw on Newegg,  specifically one I saw with a clear side to it with a location for an additional fan. I believe it was the Antec 900 or something.

Any help will be appreciated,  I was hoping to get these ordered soon, soon being 2-3 weeks, since it seems to be a good time to do this as there seems to be alot of discounts flying around online.
