Budget:
[$2,500-$3,000]

Expectations:
[Want to be able to play all four Crysis games and the four Deadspace games without a hiccup.]

Usage:
[Gaming, internet and Hi-def movies]

Special Needs:
[Dual Plasma 1080p 42 inch TV's hookup]

Saved Ticket #: [ 813016 ]

Specifications:
[very dusty but planning on moving within 90 days...]

I rarely play high end games as I am quite satisfied to watch videogame walkthroughs for I am truly story oriented. I am a voyeur.
But after watching Zevik140's walkthroughs of Deadspace 1 & 2...I found myself motivated to get a machine that could handle these games and much more. Your help please. Thanks in advance.

Hi Zholla..... Welcome to the DS forums.

That build is right on. Quality parts and able to handle what you throw at it.

My only thought is to drop the fan upgrade. The HafX is great cooling and quiet as-is.   It's 230mm front and 200mm side and top fans run slow and move a alot of air.     Also, you know your needs better than us but Windows Ultimate is more than most need.   

Real nice rig and good luck.    Stay in touch.

That's a great build.

I'm just echoing the above. As an HAF-X owner, I do not believe you will benefit from the fan upgrade. In fact, all you will probably get is more noise.
