My 2-cents: Don't go for i7. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad are good enough for any gaming these days ^ those additional specs put up by psp339 are very good. I would go for Black series HDD, Corsair PSU (500-650 watts), and Zalman 9700 CPU heatsink and fan.

I have a Zalman 9700 and it's not that good. My friend has a Xigmatek and it cools a bit better.
