I just bought a Diamond Radeon HD5970 from newegg for $300 on impulse.

Can someone suggest a system to go with it? I need a motherboard, power supply (that can handle the 5970), case, processor, ram (not sure how much), 1 reasonably-sized SSD, a DVD writer, and Windows 7 Pro. I already have other regular SATA hard-drives. Can it be done for $1000 pre-tax?

My last system was a AMD64x2 4200+ from 2005...

Edit: My budget is $1000 pre-tax for the items mentioned above - excluding video card (which I already paid for).

I'd like to build a gaming computer!
