1. Are you building this computer yourself or having one built for you (Like HP, Alienware, or even a small shop)?
Building it himself.

2. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes?
$2,200

3. Where do you live (Please list town, state, and country)?
Richland, WA

4. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)?
Gaming

5. What parts will you need for the computer? List what parts specifically, saying you need everything will not do.
Power supply, Motherboard, Hydro cooling, CPU... don't know what else. He has already decided to get two Geforce GTX 780's, but just doesn't know how he wants to go about the rest. He hasn't built a computer in years and has forgotten what to look for.

6. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so say what parts (make and model).
None besides peripherals and some hard drives he has laying around.

7. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer?
Currently 1920x1080. But he has future prospects he just doesn't know about those yet.

8. Do you have already have a OS or do you need one? What OS is that?
Already has one.

9. What are you looking for the motherboard to have feature wise? Like SLI, Crossfire, Firewire, USB 3.0, Sata 6.0 Gb/s, and so on.
SLI compatible at least. He's not certain what to look for, again, but he's wondering about this one, and if it will support what he wants or if there are better options.

10. Any plans to overclock the CPU or GPU?
No plans currently, but may venture there.

11. What time kind of time frame are you planning on ordering these parts?
As soon as more competent advice is given. Hopefully within two weeks.

So yeah, he's building a computer from scratch, but after going to newegg, he found that he couldn't navigate the options as well as he could years ago. Thanks for the help.
