i have $1500 CAN to spend on a computer that will be able to run games at high on 1920x1200. my plan is to get a mobo that will be future safe 2-3 years later when i need to upgrade ram, graphics card, the cpu. i looked at the i7 cpu but mobos for them are exspensive, and have useless features to me like sli, hd onboard sound.

i have no problem waiting for price drops or better hardware and i'm going to have to buy 64bit windows 7. not even 100% sure if im going to buy right now. its been awhile since i looked at computer hardware and just dont know what to look for anymore.

case: antec 1200

cpu: ?

mobo: ?

vgu: ?

ram: ?

hdd: 1tb wd

sound card: i need something that will go well with sennheiser hd595 headphones.

psu: ?

monitor: something for $400 or less with resolution 1920x 1200 or 1920x1080. this isnt included in the $1500.
