Budget:
3000-3500

Expectations:
to be able to last for awhile without upgrading much and to be powerful

Usage:
mostly gaming and browsing the net and all


ive built two pcs before but i dont wanna stress about making them and worrying bout if i can or can't upgrade it what i want to do is have a dual monitor setup i already have an acer H243H monitor   and i just bought an ASUS VH232H Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 w/Speakers & HDMI for christmas since it was on sale. what i would like to do is game on one and use the other monitor for other stuff like internet playing music and all but i just want a set up that is going to last for a few years or so with not a lot of upgrading but i also wanna save money but if spending more will help i can go up to 4000 if really needed ive been looking at digital storm for years but never had the money till now so any suggestions will be great :D also i know you all suggest the haf x case but im not sure on it since my room gets really dusty so i need to constantly clean the dust out every week or two so any suggestions on that will be greatly appreciated thanks guys cant wait to see what you come up with :D also im gonna pay with paypal if thats possible? i saw you could do it before but not sure if thats still an option or not lol

Hi Raphael_Lawliet...  Welcome to the forums.
 
I would check out the ODE level 4 for a start.  Its one of DS's best bang for the buck and its sli gtx 670's will max out pretty much anything gaming on a single monitor.  If there's something about it you don't like, then we can put together a custom build, but its usually more $$ for the same performance.
 
As far as dust, any good gaming rig with the fans need to cool it will suck in the dust.  The HafX as you said does have great cooling and the fans love Big%20Smile to pick up anything floating by just like any case, so we always recommend keeping the case off the floor.  Desk top level or even a foot or two up keeps the fans away from where all the dust and pet air like to linger. 
 
Hope this helps and good luck. Big%20Smile

haha true see i made a shelf for pcs up off the floor it hasnt really help haha but its alright cleaning but id prefer a custom but maybe the ode money to me isnt that important honestly so whatever the best i can get for up to 3500 is preferable :D but i can also go up to 4000 but just wanted to save some money if i could but my max is 4000 i could spend but thanks for the advice

Here's a custom config with pretty much the best of everything.  The 6 core 3930k chip isn't needed for gaming, so you could save $300 going with the 3820 4 core chip.  But, down the road, who knows?
 
Also, sli, gtx 670's are cheaper with almost the same gaming as the sli 680's but the 680's are the best and in your budget.
 
I did put in the HafX but that's easy enough if you want to change ,  like the 600T, 500R, etc.
