Default New Build/Upgrade

Well I have not been into the PC scene in awhile now and I am looking to build another system. Since everything has changed so much I need your help on choosing what to buy.

NEEDED:
Motherboard, Processor, Graphics Card, RAM, and a Power Supply.

I do not have a preference between AMD/Intel and NVIDIA/ATI. All I can say is I will not be doing any SLI/X-Fire with the GPU. I might be doing some minor overclocking with the CPU, but I have not decided on that yet. I would rather not do so, but if it will save me $100 and give me the same performance then it is a different story.

Any way, that is pretty much it. I plan on using the PC for every day use, media, and gaming. I am looking forward to playing games like COD, BF2, CSS, FO3, FC2, etc. on high settings or even maxed out. The thing is, I am not looking into spending a whole lot on this build.

I will be using a 22" LCD monitor and Win 7 with this build. Budget is up to $800 USD. I prefer purchasing from Newegg.com.

Thanks in advance.
