    desktop computer

    im planning to build my own desktop and have a few qeustions regarding my setup... and if it would be good and not out of date in a month...

    some plans and usages:
    the basics, it to be fast and dependable, etc...
    I am plannin on hoookin it up via hdmi to my tv for a 47 inch 1080p comp monitor, and it saves some money
    I want to run max settings on screen images for starcraft 2 and diablo 3
    I plan on having 2 HD's, one SSD and one HDD so i can have programs on the SSD and storage on the HD
    Is there a way i can use a TV tuner card ( digital) to work as a black box? or at least work as a DVR, and have the cable run through the comp then to the TV, but would i have to always keep comp on? or what.. havent thought that fully through cuz i just dont know; then i would want to have a seperage HD for that ( thinkin a TB?)
    I have a stereo reciever thats 7.1 but if i can have that in my comp with a good sound card, id rather do that; But it would have to have to have the speakers connect to the comp
    A good fan to keep temps cool, any other suggestions to maintain cool temps?
    Umm... its def a lil pricey, if there are ways i can cut the price down a lil bit lemme know!
    i think thats about it.. imma copy and paste the shopping cart i have from newegg for my ideas.. suggestions are welcome

    I just built almost the sane machine but with a blue ray burner and nvidia gtx 670 video card. The i7 processer is sick and I put 32 gigs of DDR 3 ram in the beast. My video card has 5 gigs of DDR 5 ram
