    Ultimate Gaming machine

    I need your opinions on what would be the ultimate gaming sytem to build. I am going to build it from scratch, so i need to know what case to use and what to put in it and also include keyboard and mouse. I will be using my 40" LED TV for monitor. Thanks in advance. I`m not into water cooling just air.
