So, the rig I'm on now I have updated and maintained since when I first built it 5 years ago. The only thing in it that is original is the Optical Drive, PSU, Case/Fans. However, I am in need of another upgrade (I haven't upgraded in 2 years), and I want to build a whole new rig.
I would like to know the suggestions you all would have. I am an enthusiast gamer, but I also can't spend 3 grand on a computer.
Here is what I put together. I've been a bit out of the hardware scene because I've been busy with other things, so just let me know where I went wrong (if at all). I would like to stay around the budget I am at.

It seems you have enough money to burn, but still, If I would be you I would do this:
- buy 1TB HDD from Seagate (.12 series) or Samsung - it is much faster than 500GB Caviar Blue and you gonna feel it
- are you sure you wanna spend 300$ for a motherboard and around 250$ for CPU? Sounds crazy, I mean motherboard does not help you gaming or whatsoever and you plan to use only a single VGA anyway ... (I guess you're are not Pro OCer to claim you need the best MB)
- that Nvidia graphic card may sound fancy, but trust me you can do so much more better (speed wise) for the 350$ on VGA(s) (check the latest Tom's hardware section of best graphics card for the money)
