Default Building A Custom PC Question v2

As similar to jono 0101 I'm in need of hardware recommendations on a new system. I can build, config, troubleshoot everything just fine but I've been out of the loop as far as hardware is concerned. My last build was an htpc when bluray drives were the new hotness. Now it seems the new hotness is SSD's and unlocking cores.

What I need is a pc that can play world of warcraft really well. Immediately one would think oh thats easy the game doesn't require much. I'll go ahead and put an end to that and say it does need quite the juice to run well. There is quite a difference when soloing and getting 60fps to when you are in a 25 person raid with sprites flying everywhere and shadows galore at 15fps. I would love something to be at +100fps normally and atleast 60fps in 25 man raids. Also when the new expansion coming out and gfx engine being upgraded things will look better and be more gfx intensive.

What I have already:
monitors (1680x1050)
keyboard
mouse
speakers
OS
bd drive
plenty of storage, i dont need a 1TB system drive, only plan on installing OS + core apps (MS suite, Photoshop, powerdvd, etc) + WoW + 1-2 other games

What I need:
processor
mobo
ram
video card(s) - open to sli/xfire
system hdd/ssd
psu

i'm open to all brands and any suggestions. i've given myself a 1k budget but would like to go as low as possible considering its just the tower and guts. thanks in advance!
