well as u can see im new in the forums, and like a idiot i posted prematurely hit the wrong button or something on accident. Oops any who,
usage- strictly gaming, games mainly WoW, CoD, and some resident evil atm might b more down the road i like to play mmo's and RPG's w/ some shooters thrown in.

budget- is 4000-4500 including monitor, mouse and keyboard. Im left handed so ya choosing a mouse is difficult.

  I dont know if im goin to far w/ this build on terms of sli and the i7 980x, im pretty
 
much clueless, same goes for the cooling system and psu. i also would love  to

 play in the range of 1900x1200 with maybe upgrading tht in the future w/ monitor or w/e to play at higher res.

 my config was posted below cuz i didnt figure how to post it i later checked and the email DS sent me was in my spam folder anyways the ticket was 481184

 i was looking online at a few places alienware was one of them but alot of users in forums have trouble w/ overheating etc. Another was like cyberpower or something, and Ibuypower both with reasonable prices but didnt really look legit to me. im looking for something tht will last me and of good quality and from the forums DS is the way to go
