Budget:3000-3500


Expectations:I'm mostly looking for it to put up with all of em (the ones listed below) at there highest settings.


Usage:I will be mostly playing WoW,Starcraft II, and Mw2 (yes yes i know it old but i find it fun still).

Special Needs: Im in need of a new monitor could it be atleast 24 inches maybe more. I already got a great keyboard and mouse. So most of this will be going to the tower and monitor.

Thanks Dranion

at 24 inches youll still probably be gaming at 1920x1080, you are way over the budget for what you would need to play
you could do this to use up a good part of your budget, still room for toys
 
or you could go down to a single 580 to save some money, even at just one you should be ok for a while, its just a question of how much you want to spend.. 580s are super expensive right now

For a $3K budget definitely get a SSD for your OS.  Also go w/ the Corsair for your PSU.  The AX1200 is fully modular, extremely reliable, and stable.  Try this:

ticket number: 463829

For your monitor check amazon, best buy, etc.. The Asus 27 inch (MT276HE) is a great monitor for the price.  Total price should come in <$3500.

i dont know that i would name modular on a list of reasons to get a power supply... =/
 
all it helps with is cable management, it hurts overall performance, even if its not by much

Modular, multi rail, all piss poor ideas for power supplies, just like tooless PC cases.. Took me 5 hours to rip all the plastic crap, junk ass tool les poo off the damn Crapmaster case, to convert it to a decent setup..Upset
 
But, lol just because a power supply is modular, or non-modular, it does not determine its quality. Just one small piece of the puzzle.

LOL Justin you just dont like to follow rules, so if they give you a toolless case you are compelled to make it require tools  Wink

But I do agree with the general spirit of the comments both Justin and Ender made.
