Looking for advice on a new PC

Budget: $2800

Expectations:  I would like to play games on the highest graphic settings.  My primary monitor is the ASUS VE278Q LED – 27" 1920x1080 Full HD and I also have a secondary monitor (22', I believe) that is used mainly for web pages and when working on work/school projects using MS Office. This will be my second computer that I have bought from DS, the first one was bought in 09.  Any advice is greatly appreciated as I want to enjoy the hard work that game artists put into their games.

Usage:  I play a flight simulation game (Aces High II), BF 3 and BF 4 when it comes out the Batman series and Guild Wars 2.

oooooo I found something you didn't suggest.

As suggested many many times to others including myself.

Change the 1TB Seagate (7200 RPM) (64MB Cache) to the  1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (Model: Black Edition) +$19 a much more reliable drive


O and btw: my new system will be here Tuesday....can't wait. Pics coming soon !!!!

Looks like a solid build. Not much more to recommend that hasn't already been brought up with the exception of the preference on the forums of the Samsung 840 Pro over the Corsair Neutron GTX but the difference is very small - so both are good choices...

Keep us updated.

It's a full size ATX mobo so you shouldn't have any issues using x2 SLI + 1-3 additional cards. The GPU will always cover any slot just below as they are double slot cards. Just make sure you have good air flow...
