1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, College, Monitor will also be used to hook up an Xbox 360 to.

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread. ~$1000

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
United States

4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc, etc, etc, you get the picture.
No preference

5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I plan to use my GTX 260 and my 650W Antec PSU from my current PC, and since I'll be leaving my current PC at home I'll put in my old 510W PC Power and Cooling PSU and order a 7300GS since the other users at home aren't gamers.

6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
I have done some research but haven't found what i needed for sure.

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default speeds

8. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Around March of this year.

Looks good to moi. With a $1000 budget though, I'd swap that Phenom II 920 for a 940 BE. It's only about $40 more, and will be much easier to overclock with an unlocked multiplier.
