 Hello; I have been thinking about this, and reading up for a little while on this.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated, $3,500 is about the max I can dish out, of course less would be better as i still have to get the monitors etc.

Expectations:

would like it to boot up fast, load programs fast, possibly 2 monitors 23-27 inches]

Usage:

[I need well rounded machine, that can play games well (while running other programs) , movies, edit video, format conversion of audio and video, web surfing and upgrade friendly,]

Special Needs:

needs to be quiet, low profile lighting, room temp is around 75 degrees year round,  floor is carpetd, I plan to put it on a wooded base

Saved Ticket #: 596797

	I'm assuming you know for a fact you need that much ram? you need to change the cpu cooler to the a70 and you need to change your case, that case is for lced systems (real lc), for the config you have you want the haf x so that you have good airflow.
