I was very happy with this system and im looking to get something similar but just upgraded.

my budget is between 2000-2500 dollars. my current system was about 2100 i think. I love the SSD and i loved the video card. I like the 2 hard drive. SSD was for my gaming and my TB harddrive was for my movies / music etc etc.

I use my computer for gaming mostly. I mainly play MMOs (soon to be guild wars2, SWTOR, WoW etc) I also play games like star craft 2 and skyrim. It's important that i can play the game on the high / ultra settings. I also use my computer for watching and downloading movies. I watch alot of youtube vids as well.

so as u can see i dont need a super strong system. It is on a good portion of the day so i want a solid cooling system. Noise level needs to be quiet too. MY system now is very quiet and remains very cool even in when the room is warm.

I love my current case (the cooler master). I remember upgrading my cooling system / fans last time.

anyways can anyone offer me any help? keep in mind, im clueless when it comes to hardware and what stuff means. I spend a good 2-3 weeks researching what people were saying was good last time and thats what i ended up getting built. looking to do the same again. thanks!

i would upgrade but i plan to give this system to my stepson since his computer is 5-6 yrs old and he is due for a 'new' system. thus why im looking for a new rig for  myself.

Hi Godhand456...  That's the exact custom build I was just gonna post for ya, with one exception, the gtx 670 instead of the HD 7970.   Both are great cards and here's a link to compare benches to help you decide..

ok newb question...when u say the deluxe motherboard has onboard WiFi, what do u mean? im assuming i wont need that as my computer hooks up to my cable modem while my stepson and wife connect via the wireless router. my wife uses a laptop but my stepson, we had to buy a wireless connector so his computer could connect to our signal.

i was going to 16GB RAM only because it seemed cheap. was only a 50 dollar increase.
