i7 have no improvement over gaems (barely any gaem uses quad), if you strictly play gaems, go for i5 or phenom II x3 720,955 etc.
stop spending so much money on a PSU, buy a OCZ 600w modxpro or some antec earthwatt, seasonic, corsair, pc&c, silverstone, emermax etc....
protip: the 5830 is coming soon, so does the fermi, you might want to wait out.
protip2: crossfire 5770 have the best price/ratio(also is a shit series for the poor and fanboy), shit if the gaem you play doesn't have crossfire (Bad company II beta, HoN)
if i remember, there's a CM scout case for sale at newegg for $60 USD after rebate, it has so nice feature similar to the haf ( red led, nice management, etc)

also, check if you have microcenter, they have the i5 + p55a ud3p combo for $210, or check FRY's, they sometime have the i5 combo + evga, asus, or gigabyte mobo for $200 USD

fucking fanboy on bottom post

If you're only gaming, Phenom II X4, i5 and i7 have almost no difference.

Go for a Phenom II X4 because it's a cheapest.

i5 is pretty useful if you play on doing some artwork, or video encoding, the Turbo Boost function is really useful, overclocks up to 3.2ghz per core iirc.

i7 is just overkill.

Well, this is pretty much the final list:

I'm almost POSATIVE that when the 5850 comes back into stock it will be with a discount.

you can buy the ocz 600w for half of the price, or buy the 550VX for better quality and warranty, fuck, wattage doesn't matter.

xfiring 5850 won't take 650w, it just have more headroom to do so, a 550hx and the 650 requires molex to pci-e power connector.Hell, stop saying Corsair, is CW and Seasonic.

Hanns-G is a reputable brand, this is going no where if you going with fanboyism bullshit, unless you can find OP a IPS/PVA panel for that price, (all TN are shit, just buy which one on discount)

pic related, calculated how much the 5850 xfire with i5, other stuff taken into consideration (hard drives, fans,other cooling etc) at 90% load

Comparing a $150 USD monitor to a
Code:

    $219.99
    $17.66 Std. Shipping*

I see where this going. Unless OP is on a tight budget, spend more money on a IPS panel (2209Wa can be easily bough for $200 USD by making a e-mail to Dell, or just a phone call.)
Edit:
HOLY SHIT OP, I JUST SAVED YOU EXTRA $100 USD, NOW YOU CAN BUY A FABULOUS MONITOR TO DO YOUR REBATE

Well, since all you guys could figure out to argue about is the moniter this time, I suppose it's case closed. I like the monitor, I'm not crazy about giant resolution. I'm quite used to using computers with small resolution, and I'm not crazy about huge screens anyway. 1680x1050 fine for me, and the xfx 5850 will be all the more awesome when it doesn't have to put up with maximum res. (Side note- some reviews said something about frozen pixels on that moniter. Seems pretty unlikely, I'll take my chances)

Alot of you wanted me to get an AMD core, but then I'd have to find another motherboard that's not as good, another type of ram, and I quite like the mobo/processor/ram right now. The i5 WILL air overclock to 3.4 (I mean, it has 3.2 ghz normal capacity with that turbo boost shit) at least, and then even more when I decide to buy liquid cooling.

Western Digital has a new type of HD called "Advanced Format"
These HDD gives you about 7-11% more of storage space by format at the 4K sector.
