I'm looking to buy a computer VERY soon. My budget is around $2500. My gaming is mostly online, with a max resolution of 1600 x 1200. I MAY in the future purchase a 24" flat screen, but that is say a year off. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks DST4ME. That looks like it should do what I want, AND take care of if I move to something that needs more oomph. I was wondering whether I wanted 1 or 2 video cards. I asumed one, but now I know!

Thanks DST4ME. That answers questions for me I wasn't even sure if I really had. Now I know I really only need one video card and if I move on to something that needs more ooomph I can just add another and the computer will be ready for it. Thanks again!

Hey Jyryki, give me a call when you are ready to order, I will see if I can't hook you up with a little something extra.
