So I have a budget of $1,000-1,600 and this is including the keyboard. I might be doing some over clocking in the future, but also maybe not, I am not sure at the moment.

I am just looking for the biggest and baddest I can get for that price. Something that I will be able to upgrade to keep up with the newest games for years to come, and maybe even get a triple monitor setup.

The keyboard that I have decided to get is the Corsair Vengeance K60.

If anybody has any configurations that they know of that would be in this budget or maybe 200 dollars more at tops, that would be fantastic!
Thank you!

I was just wondering if there is a way I can get the vanquish level 4 without windows 8. Because frankly, I hate windows 8, I would love windows 7.

I would call them.

The SE version I posted is supposedly not prebuilt and they assemble it. So maybe they can install windows 7 in it for you.

My gut feeling if it is what needs to be done to get the sale I would hope they would find a way to make it work for you.

This is similar to a build I recommended to another first time buyer on a budget. Since this one is a fully custom build, you can request a lot of different options. This build already includes your keyboard and runs right at $1600. It's already got a Mobo and PSU that is SLI compatible and a simple closed loop water cooler for the processor. You could always mod this with a cheaper Mobo if SLI is not something you're planning on doing as well as downgrading the CPU.

The one Ariktu listed is also a good starting point - just depends on your destination...

You can always email or call DS for a recommendation as well. Whatever you end up getting, since it's from DS, it'll be awesome with the best support you could ask for!
