Building Computer- Ideas?

Okay, so I've decided what I'm going to get. Everything looks great together I think works well and I'm totally satisfied EXCEPT, the price tag. If I can substitute things without losing performance, (maybe combo deals) then please let me know. I already have a combo deal for the Corsair Vengeance RAM + ASUS Sabertooth motherboard but if you can find a cheaper motherboard that will work well please suggest it but I was really hoping for one with a UEFI Bios.

So without further adieu here is my final wishlist.

Hopefully that worked...

overall the price is $1,368 but a little less with the combo I was talking about.

6 processors....is that really necessary?

6 cores right now is worth the price. It processes data faster and it will take a while till 6-cores becomes obsolete. BTW I'm using a six-core and it is worth the price/power for multi-tasking during homework, playing games and etc. Plus this Phenom comes in a combo deal.

depends on what you intend on running if you need that much processing power

i have an AMD Athlon 2 X2 P320 (2.1 GHz) for my laptop and it manages to run all my things amazingly...minecraft,puzzle pirates,guild wars and epic bot all at the same time

seems abit over the top to me

Okay well... To start, I was really hoping to keep it under $1000. I hope that's possible while somewhat maintaining the quality.

I already have a laptop which I'm using now and as **** as it is, I'm going to settle with this until it dies in a year or two.

For GPU I would go with Nvidia, just because I know they run excellent graphics. And I don't need SLI or Crossfire.

AMD is fine with me. As long as its lower price is worth it. I should also mention that I'm going to be using this for computer programming AND animation, graphic design, art etc. (double major) in addition to games and such.

With cooling, is there anything important I should consider other than water cooling?

And definitely not dual screens.

As far as assembly goes, I can do that myself.

Sweetnich needs the extra processing power for doing work in college. The extra cores on definitely the computer programming and graphics design. So it doesn't lag and hang when doing high cpu processing programs like Photoshop with the graphics card.
