This right here is what im thinking of getting, depending on black friday sales and what not. I'm gonna carry over a bit from my current build. I'm gonna keep my 5870 til next gen GPU's and my corsair 750 psu.  I'm also going to keep my 1.5tb hdd til the prices aren't crazy again or if there's a nice sale sometime.

Decent.
Your 1.5TB should be good for ages :D

Open up your case and look on the side of the PSU. It should have the wattage, brand and model.
I will need to know the wattage and model so I can tell whether or not it will support it.
Are you sure that your mobo has 4 PCI-E slots? What is your motherboard model? It is rare unless you bought a high end mobo.
It looks like your case is a micro ATX. To be sure whether or not it would fit a 6850, I'd definitely measure the length parallel to the top PCI-E lane, from the rear PCI brackets to the nearest thing opposite.

It says AC INPUT: 230V-240V.

Also, I just noticed (had to disassemble my older video card to see) the other 3 PCI-E ports are noticeably smaller than the first one. Only one is 16x and the rest is 1x or 4x.

Wattage, brand and model sir. Not voltage input.
Also measurements.

That CPU is an AMD. Your motherboard supports Intel only.
Also for $1k I'd expect better specs. I'll get you a parts list soon.

[Shy_Guy]

[Ethan]

more or less 1000

Ok thanks

OK, you can both use this parts list:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171054
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157279
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220484
HDD: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HUA721050KLA330-NDW&cat=HDD
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102929
ODD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
LCD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009266

Total: ~$990 with rebates.
Don't forget though that neither of your parts lists included an OS, so you must remember to sort one out.
And, Kira, yours had that mouse. You could add that, but if it's over your budget I can change it for you.
