mostly play games, watch netflix, hulu, amazon and i run lots of vm. (up to 4 vm up at the same time)
my budget is around 2000, it connect to 2 1080p monitor.

I play all type of game, from old adv game (serria online style), RTS, shooter to mmorpg.

the machine i have now is following
i7 920 2.6mhz (close loop water cooling)
16gb RAM
1+2+2TB HD
blueray burner
gtx295
xfi sound blaster (digital out to my hifi)

reason i looking for new one is my gtx295 video driver keep crashing and no matter how many time i rebuild it still having same problem.

no need for sli MB but would like close loop water cooling.

Hi Abrihmi...... Welcome to the forums.

I would suggest checking out the ODE lvl 1 or lvl 2.   Its a prebiilt system and gives alot for the money.    Its gtx670 will give you 2-3 times the performance of your gtx295.     They don't have blu ray player but easy enough to add yourself if needed.    The integrated audio is very good with todays motherboards but again easy to add a card if needed.   If you want a custom rig with blu ray and audio card added, we can show you one.

The ODE 3 for a bit above budget does have the blu ray, SSD for faster boot and smoother loads and the 240mm closed loop cooler.    

Good luck.

@Abrihmi, Am I missing something??????

why buy a new rig? your specs are great, all you need sounds is just a gpu upgrade? sounds like your 295 is failing. Simply put a 670/680 in your system and it will out perform your 295 (which btw is in internal sli).
