Help with building a pc that will last a while

[lans83]

Like the title says, I'm lookin for help with piecing together a new pc that will last me quite a while. It's time that I upgraded from my current laptop for gaming and it can not handle playing Star Wars the Old Republic. I've tried the settings tweaks and everything but still no good. SW is not the only thing I'm being left in the dust from being unable to play, as there are several other games I'd like to still play. I do not want to jump on the 'early adapter' bandwagon again, as it's not always the best route to go. My budget is $1000, but would like to go way lower than that if possible. The things I'm lookin at help picking out are the video card, cpu, power supply, and ram. I want something that later on if I choose, or decide to take up multiboxing WoW or SW again (3 accounts each may be my limit this time), can handle without any problems, a minimum of 8gigs of ram, and minimum of 4 cores, 8 preferably if affordable. The remaining $ coverage will be on the OS which will be Win7 64bit, if I need Ultimate for the 8+gigs, I need to know that. Case, I'll pick one out that I like, hdd I will pick out a good 7200rpm Seagate, SSD, I'll use the one I bought for my laptop and dvd drive can be a fairly cheap but good dvd burner, blue-ray is out of the question since I've got a PS3. I'd like to have two x16 PCI video cards if priced right to run in SLI mode, or used as two separate cards to lighten the load for multiboxing. Monitors, I've got covered already, as well as mouse and keyboard. Newegg will be my source for buying all this as I've got credit through them. I'll see what I can find or piece together, but I'm not up with the times on what's good for the $s right now. My last pc I built sounded like a damn jet engine taking off at times, so picking some quite fans for a case wouldn't hurt also, no liquid/vapor cooling tho, too risky with kids running around and when transporting. I'd appreciate any help you guys/gals can assist me with here. edit: Add in a new damn good wifi router in that mix. I think mine, after 5 years is finally goin out on me and I need this rig to work well on a wireless connection, as it won't be in the same house as the router :/


Edit:----------------------------------------------------------------

Wasn't sure to delete or modify this or the following post, so I'll just add what I have settled on here. I went a little over my initial budget, but in doing so, I believe I've left myself with room for improving it as time goes by just by adding in an extra video card, adding in a large SSD when prices drop more, and overclocking when it comes time to.

Might be overkill for now, but it won't stay that way forever. I love the design of the case above with the total customization of the drive bays, I love case modding, so that's worth the extra $ to me. I'll change out the stock CPU heatsink and fan later on when I add the extra SSD drive and video card, then I'll overclock the cpu too. Still got my SSD I bought for my laptop I'll use for games, and when the prices on them drop, I'll add one or two more and do a fresh install of everything.

Your thoughts on this? BTW, thank you guys so much for helpin me out here.
