Yea, seems like there's new technology every day now. I mean, intel has like 5 different sockets... why? :\
You should see AMD. Every time they come out with a new chip they have to change the socket. Intel used 775 for a good long time.

Well what parts have you settled on?

For Graphics cards, stuff like Asus and Saphire are good, but steer clear of MSI.

I'm getting:

Graphics Card: GTX260
Processor:  Intel Core i5-750
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: 4Gigs of DDR3
Burner: Samsung Black 2MB SATA  CD/DVD Burner
PSU: At least 550W (Need ALOT of help choosing this one)
HD: 500gigs+ (One that won't die in a year)
Case: .8mm rolled aluminum

The case, HD, and burner arn't the main concerns here but I've read some reviews and it seems that there are alot of PSU's out there that die after a year or two. Don't want that happening
