Hey,

I play alot of MMO's particularly wow at the moment but plan on transitioning to SWTOR once released, but I also like MW2 and first person shooter games such as that.  Plain and simple I am a gamer and I want my PC to run everything out there with ease. 

Also not sure what SSD is but my buddy says its awesome so??

Info:
Budget = $2500
Resolution = 1920 x 1080 most likely

I have read most of the posts on this forums and saw you did this before but new technology has come out since then. 

Based on the above I hope you will be able to give me a possible config ticket so I am able to purchase.

HDD = hard disk drive = A drive that uses platters to store data.

SSD = solid-state drive = A drive that uses memory to store data.

depending on the ssd, it can be much much faster then the best hdd, all ssds are not the same, some are not worth it.

your budget does not have room for ssd and its not that big of a deal, in a few month buy a ssd and use that for HDD1 for OS/Games/Apps, and push the 500GB to HDD2 and use it for storage.

remember:

HDD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage

Don't fill up your HDD1 more then 50%, if think you will need more room for it then pick a bigger one.

now some of the newer games coming out in the future may require more power then 1 x 5870 or 1 x 480, so both configs are made so that you can drop in a second 5870/480 if you need to do so down the road, this pc is a beast and has a lot of room to grow should you need it.

One question...You have stage 2 air cooling in this system, would stage 2 H20 provide a cooler running system? or No

I really enjoy the look of the H20 and I always thought it was better than air but I have no facts to back that up just an assumption.

the asetek is not real LC system, there is nothing to see that would look cool, and it gets beat by Noctua.

My pleasure and good luck
