Reuseable parts: Can't, see below (current specs) as to why
Overclocking: Doubtful. Though if I can get enough airflow I may try
Monitor: Currently 1680 x 1050 (22 Inches) - I eventually want HD (Between 23 - 27 inches)
Features of Motherboard: Firewire, USB 3.0, SATA 6 Gb/s, eSATA, UEFI

Current specs:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit

And what I wanted in a new system:

Hardware

USB 2.0 speeds that are minimum of 30 MB a second
USB 3.0 speeds that are at lest 300+ MB/s [I will get / use an SSD]
Firewire (and or eSata port) --- because I have a external hardrive that has both along with USB
At lest a solid terabyte (1.5 TB)
Has either a VGA or DVI port (current monitor I have has both)
Also has support for HDMI (for the future monitor)
Multi card reader (although I mainly need SD and Memory Pro Stick Duo)
Able to use a PS3 controller AND A XBOX 360 controller (yes I know 360 is native support . . .)
I would like a quad core.
Multiple internal DVD drives - Also to make installations faster
Plenty of 3.5/5.25 drive bays . . .

Software

Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) (Main OS) -- Mostly for languages
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (if needed)
May first run Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit - as I have both 32/64 bit discs now)
Windows XP (if 64 bit won't run some of the games I have) (if needed)
Folding@home - (although I use my PS3 for that when I'm not using it

Gaming Software:

- Will use steam:

Elder Scrolls (Morrowind -> Skyrim)
Portal 1 & 2
Batman Arkham (Asylum/City)
Sonic Generations
Quake (all)
Doom (all)
Wolfenstein (3D) & 2009 - and the others
Commander keen (all)
Bioshock (1/2) (perhaps infinite)
L.A. Noire
Bejeweled 2/3
Peggle
Various COD's
anything else that interests me

- Will use CD/DVD's of the games I have:
Warcraft 2 - Tides of Darkness & Beyond the Dark Portal
Warcraft 3 - Reign of Chaos & Frozen Throne
Diablo 1 - 3 (when it comes out)
The Sims 1 - And all expansions
The Sims 2 (probably)
Simcity 4000 & Rushhour
May use emulation (to run up to the PS2/Wii)

Other Thoughts

Eventually a dual monitor setup (and one be HD resolution)
I will wait for some parts (hard drives, GPU, etc) to drop in price.
Will wait for IvyBridge. . . . (as if I have a choice)
I WANT UEFI, NOT regular old BIOS (that this slimline has)
May eventually like a dual GPU (crossfire?)
Yes I know 32 GB of RAM is 'overkill' but c'est la vie

Power Supply Thoughts:

ABSOLUTE MAX Watts: 900w
Efficiency: AT LEST 80+ Silver
Modular - semi or fully

MISC. Part Thoughts:

Case: Plenty of space (/airflow). I'd like some other color besides black (i'm just tired of every time we buy being black or white)

Monitor Thoughts:

Screen: Full HD & Widescreen
Supports: HDMI, DVI, Displayport (if the motherboard of the computer does)
Within 1 - 2 MS response time (current monitor is 5 MS response time) [if I'd notice a real difference and price]
Screen size - 25 to about 27 inches

What is your maximum budget?

I think he said "within 1500 American Dollars"

Sorry, I must have read over it.

@OP: Create a RAM Disk with the extra RAM. Eight to sixteen gigabytes is more than enough for most setups. Tip: When you buy a PSU, make sure it has all the connections you are going to need. From what I can tell your setup looks fine. At the time you do buy another monitor, keep in mind that you need to look at the TN panel specs and not the manufacture mumbo jumbo. GL! [ \:^)~

Would 8 or 16 (out of the 32) of a dual channel be enough for a RAM disk? What would be the really useful things for a RAM disk?
