2200-2300 Computer

Hey! Thanks for joining the forums.

You are making the right decision going with Digital Storm.

Now -- lets get started.

ODE. Awesome machines. The real question is this: "Is there anything about the ODE you do not like?"

They are solid and dependable machines, they are also some of the highest professorially rated machines around.

SLI -- Yes and No. I play every game you listed religiously except GW2 which I've only played a little. GW2 runs fine from my experience with SLI (I have dual 690s)

WoW - I hit 221FPS in main cities in SLI, but there is an Nvidia custom profile for WoW that automatically works when you launch the game, it may perform better than SLI. It be clear. 221FPS in SLI/64bit mode.

Diablo 3 - This game isn't very intensive, it'll work with SLI but I think you'd never notice the difference between SLI and not.

SC2 - I double my performance in this title under SLI, so much that I actually improve my response times.

Final thoughts: YMMV. (Your mileage may vary) Games are really stubborn creatures -- especially since all of those titles change all of the time in relation to code.

Blizzard and Nvidia have a good working relationship which is a good thing. GW2 has a solid DEV team.

For what you play, SLI isn't needed. However, SLI will assist you in the future as it is becoming more and more popular. A single card at your resolution would kick as much digital behind as SLI would in my opinion. I'm not expert, just going by my experiences.

Also -- just so you know. With 2300 dollars, Digital Storm would create you a machine that will decimate video games. It'll run like a 5k machine for sure.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Interesting xii. Though im still unsure of the purpose of SLI in the x17E especially if i wont notice the difference.

Oh, and Ill never buy another PC anywhere else again.

I dont mean it like that. I was simply stating that even the lesser in this case is awesome. Thats all. :-))
