Hello all! My current PC is about 4 years old and it's starting to show. Ready to upgrade, how does this look? I went with the second Slade build with Blu-Ray and overclocked GPU, other than that it's default.

Budget:
$2k

Expectations:
Single monitor setup, use almost exclusively for gaming. I'd like to be able to crank the video settings pretty close to the max.

Usage:
Playing games like Witcher 3, Borderlands Pre-Sequel, Dragon Age: Inquisition. Almost all of my gaming is solo, very little online co-op.

Special Needs:
Need it to be quiet (which is why I went with the Slade).

Saved Ticket #: 1066621

Thanks in advance!

Same here. Nice.    The only thing I would change is the Seagate HDD to the Western Digital Black for another $19. A better rated , more reliable drive with longer warranty.

Good luck.
