Mainly here to clarify and add a little and a lil' fix (Troll n') to Madman's post.
Don't get mad, broski.


HDD if he wants it or rather he just stick with his old one:
http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=HD-H...Drive&c=CJ
or
http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=HD-H...Drive&c=CJ

Enter "HELLO," as a promo code in Checkout for 10% off.

Simple Back-Up and transfer is fine.

Video Card:

Dirt Cheap, as an added bonus of maxing out probably all the MMo's out there and CRYSISES ON THEM HIGHZ SETINGS
Directx 11 support.

CPU:
If you were confused by Madman's Quad Core, it's just a dual core being capable of unlocking into a quad core.
The catch is that each shipment they sent out of the CPU's are in batches that varies whether it works, or it's 2 unstable cores, or 2 completely cut-off cores. It's more of a gamble today since working disabled core batches generally are shipped out first at the very initial release of the CPU then it begins the patterns of the gamble.
If you want to try then shoot go for it, either way you end up with an uber Quad or a perfectly Uber Dual capable of handling MMo's just fine.

Motherboard:
Madman has it decently covered.

Unless you need USB 3.0 or SATA 3.0: Very noticable performance upgrade.
This is a better version.

Memory:

Higher Clock/Speed, unlike the Corsairs (Madman's :P ) these have "Heat Sinks."
Same Timing.
Basically the same price.

PSU: Madman got it perfectly covered.

Case:
I used the case Madman suggested before.
Is it absolutely winrar if you don't plan to add multiple HDD or Disk Drives.
If you do, then you're going to have to deal with a good amount of fan removing and installation shenanigans, it will be a ****.
Basically it will come to the decisions of multiple hardware vs cooling.

No multiples:
Use Madman's Case

If you are:

Note - Heavy.



There more bang for the buck.
And I figured the config needed to be more futureproof.
