Ok, thanks for all of your advice, a few things.
1. I don't just want a nice rig, that's just one of the things I mentioned. It will be my system for all multiplats, and PC exclusives that I enjoy like Starcraft. I will use it for just about everything besides Nintendo games.
2. I'm on a budget of about 1000+, but I'm willing to go higher depending on what's being offered.
