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.
Under or over a Five Thousand dollar budget?
And how far over or under 5 grand does your budget allow?
Lets start with a 3 thousand budget and go from there.Quote:

Corsair 1000W PSU
Patriot Torqx 128GB SSD
WD 2TB HD
X-FI sound card
Lian-Li full tower case
Creative G5 wired mouse
Siatek keyboard
If OC:
add ThermalRight Ultra-120 Extreme and 2 x Antec 3-speed fans
Looks good, will not be ocing. I have windows 7 home premium on the way i pre ordered.
too bad you already got a monitor. a 3-way monitor setup would be rockin.
don`t have room for it.Quote:

I also have 2 250GB 7200 harddrives i`m going to use for storage. Did i miss anything.
It is not an ultimate Gaming machine if you go with one video card, You need to go SLI at the very least.Quote:
