-As quiet as it can get.
-Must be i7
-No OC
-gigs of ram
-1tb for hdd
-$150 or less for video card

Pretty much. im planning to spend big on the motherboard and processor and cheap out on things that i can upgrade later. My budget will be around 1600.
I'd wait till Q1 2010 when they release the 32nm i5 on the 1156 socket. Since 1156 is at the start of its cycle, you can upgrade the processor to the best cpu you can find on 1156 2-3 years down the road if you really need to.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
