Budget:
1500-2500

Expectations:
Gaming computer to max out games, 1920x1080/1200 res

Usage:
SCII, WoW, Torchlight 2, MW3. Gaming only, basically.

Special Needs:
gonna be doing a bit of frapsin, also, could someone recommend me a good 60-100 headset for commentaries?

Now, I was thinking about getting an ode 1, but will the ode 3 be a big enough improvement over the ode 1? I do really like the SSD but i heard the LC it has isnt great.

thanks!

Hi Dranzogger,

The ODE series is all about performance for the dollar. The ODE-3 at $2339 is well within your budget and to me is the best buy that DS offers. You will not be disappointed. Now if the budget is a problem the ODE-2 offers good performance for $1999. It is a great buy but compromises on some of the parts to lower the price. You will still get SLI video and a SSD but not as good as you get on the ODE-3.

If you can afford it go with the ODE-3.

AT your res the difference between ode 1 and 3 is single 570 vs sli 570, so ode 3 will give you twice the performance in most games.

for your res ode 3 is the one you want if budget allows
