Hi, so I was on here about a month ago and you guys helped me a lot and my friend is now building/purchasing a new gaming computer and asked me for some help.  He has a budget of about 1,500-2,000 (hoping to keep it around 1,700).  He wants to be able to play Battlefield 3 on high, Star Wars the old Republic, Diablo 3, etc.  I was hoping you could help my friend as much as you helped me.  This is what we set him up with so far:

I have spoken to him about getting the Dell Ultrasharp U2212HM Ultrasharp rather than the Acer 22 promo bundle since it is on sale right now and just getting a keyboard and mouse from Digitalstorm.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated! 
Thanks!

you should also checkout ode 3, for 1900 x 1200 res we recommend sli, that is why he should add a second gpu to the custom config I made, or go with ode 3 which already has sli 570.
