Need a $2000 or less computer!

NC is cs all you play? and is a single gpu gonna give you all you need? if not your budget will fall short.

LOL ok first I'm a customer not a rep, this way you know what I'm saying is not because I want to sell you something, my motive for being here is to pass on the facts to other customers like yourself, so that you can make your final decision based on the facts, cause there is lot of bad info on the net.

Now as far as benchmarks go, you can't really go by benchmarks as they don't represent our pcs, also not every site is creditable, you have to know what to look for, compare all hardware and drivers and make sure they are the same, which most times they are not.

also benchmarks normally show average, and you have to look at aa settings, for example:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at 1900 x 1200 with 8x aa, a 560ti can get average of 47 fps, but 560 can get average of 42 fps.

Now all of that will be different for bf3, a 560 will cry at the res with bf3 and will not be enough.

now if you want to go with a 560 get out ode zero

ode zeroits much better priced for the hardware you are getting in your config but you have to add the sound card and anything else yourself, but that is extremely easy to do.

next step up is the ode 1 with a 570 and 2600K for $1499, you should look at that also.

let me know what you think, keep in mind future performance and etc as you choose a pc, don't just get what is doing good today, how is it gonna do tomorrow and the next day and the next year and etc, a 2600K has ht, the 2500k does not, so you will be missing out for example on win7's ht performance.

Well there really is no future proof, we are talking about staying powerful as long as possible, if you want a custom sli rig its gonna be around $2800, but it will have everything, ssd, sli, 2600k, great mobo, 1050hx psu (7 year warranty and it will support sli whatever), etc.

so based on what you said couple of months, or take a good look at ode 3, which is for $2339, and it has most of the stuff.

or we can go the upgrade route, but to be honest if you can save $700 a month, I would just wait couple of months and come back and get something like this:

Ticket Number: 591651 or ode 3.

You can take out the ssd and one 570 out of that but still you gonna be over $2100, then you can add the ssd and another 570 later yourself.

either way with that mobo and psu you can upgrade gpus in 2 years or so and have a pc that feel brand new in games.

we are here to help so ask as many questions as you like.

as for the rep comment sorry about that

the deluxe mobo is chosen so that in sli you have many pci lanes open.
