Ok, so I don't intend overclocking (maybe tweak). And I'm not looking for longevity (meaning by the time I decide to upgrade ill be changing all components again). So what is the best spec for a gaming pc

I have already an Asus gtx590 and 27 inch led Samsung series 9 3d monitor 1080p.

Also give me recommendations for a pc chasis. I like simplicity in design. So to give you an indication I like the look of the cosmos 2 chassis, antec p180 series, nzxt phantom. Give me recommendations for other chassis you know of

And if you know someone that can give me the bestest prices I'd appreciate that as well

So a processor, ram, motherboard, PSU and case
 
Antec P180 is not very ideal if you ever plan on watercooling... (I have a P183v3)
 
hmm tbh id rather just go for the i5 2500k, the difference in gaming performance doesnt justify the price for me that i'd spend that extra 800 or whatever, getting my new pc on friday, i'm getting the Samsung 3D 23" inch too, how is it? I hope it's worth it.
 
But if money isn't an issue go for the i7, i just had to cut the cost somewhere so i could get the monitor, and im the type that upgrades all at once so if i had just left the monior i would probably never ended up getting it as i don't like waiting:P(i'm bad like that)
 
If you can wait for the Z77 Intel chipset, I would suggest that you do so. The Lucid Virtu MVP stuff looked amazing.
 
@ponder (hahahah) don't overkill on spec ... (mods merge other duplicate thread with this one)

Those new 2011 chips ain't that fast in gaming applications when compared to the i7 2700k or 2600K ...

Will look at the new 77 chipsets ...

Don't need water cooling and lights and all that stuff ... Nice decent looking PC ... So aesthetically must be pretty (although I do fancy the antec skeleton chasis)... Needs to look nice in my study at the new place I'm buying
