My Bolt Config, thoughts?

Budget:
~$1500

Expectations:
I'm hoping this desktop will be able to get a solid (~25-60 high req, 75-100+ low req) fps for the next few years without me having to upgrade it every year or so.

Note: I'm hoping for these frames, but it'll be an improvement from what I have regardless, so I'll take what I can get.

Usage:
-General gaming/Web browsing. Things like Dungeon Defenders/League of Legends/DOTA/Starcraft/WoW/Planetside.
-Some recording/video editing/rendering.
-2 Monitors, 1920x1080 and a 1440x900. 1440 will likely be replaced in the near future.

Saved Ticket #:
873952

Special Needs:
-I have alot of games/recordings/videos on my computer and need space for them. 1TB is pretty much required, though I may get an external at some point for the videos/recordings.

Looks like a solid build. I am not sure why DS hasn't gone to Haswell on these systems, it maybe to keep the price down.

I would suggest you look at the Vanquish systems. They are the best price/performance you will be able to get from DS. With those systems, you can't configure it at all. For a <$50 more a Level 4 Vanquish will get you a faster latest generation CPU, a closed liquid cooler for the CPU, a bit more powerful power supply and an SSD for a boot/programs drive.

Oh, and don't forget the free T-shirt! ;-)

Awesome, thanks for all the feedback.
I'll take a look at the Vanquisher, Danjw1.
