New gaming rig

Almost the end of 2009 and that means all the holiday deals have my tech guy eyes lit up in awe. What's the best for the buck now? Where to get it? So I've been diggin through online deals here and there coming up with a new gaming rig. I don't know when I'm gonna through down the cash to get this ball rolling, but these links are what I've been looking at:


Antec Case:

Antec Power Supply:

ASRock Motherboard:

Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield:

Seagate 1TB HDD:

Mushkin 6GB RAM Kit:

DVD Burner + Lightscribe:

Subtotal: $1,272 before shipping + taxes.

I'm pretty happy with these numbers and hope that some new deals will pop up in the near future as the rig won't be purchased or assembled for another couple months. I want to toss two video cards in this rig, but I'll start off with just the one for now. Besides the majority of my gaming will be WoW for a bit and then I'll dabble into the rest of the high-end PC gaming I haven't experienced for the past 4 years. Any suggestions? Please comment and let me know!
