Wow man, thats rough.  Gonna up the cost of your PC quite a bit buying from Best Buy.  Is there not a local electronics retailer like NCIX nearby?  I guess if you have to buy from Best Buy then thats the way it goes.

Yea, thats a good sandy bridge processor, and the i5's are much more reasonably priced. 

I'm sure Best Buy will get some faster motherboards in stock as the 1155 chipset becomes more popular.  Just keep checking every few weeks.  I was thinking something like this one.

Actually man i just found out today that i can open a checking account when i turn 16 and with parental consent (which i also have) i can get a debit card so now when i get the cash i can definitely get everything off newegg now, my new build goes like this

Asus P8P67 motherboard

EVGA GTX 570

I5 sandy bridge 2500k 3.3ghz which ill probably overclock to a max of 4.5ghz even if it can go a little higher i just want to be safe

Cooler master hyper 212 cpu cooler

750 watt corsair power supply

same ram different brand

500gb seagate HDD

Corsair 600t special white edition case

Same WIFI card and all the other nonsignifant stuff like windows 7, kaspersky antivirus, Full hd LED monitor 5ms refresh rate

And thats about $1550 and this time around i feel very confident with the build but again advice is advice so please provide some if you have any.
