Budget:
Max 2400 without Monitor and Peripherals

Expectations:
Standard Gaming rig with One screen and 5.1 Surround Sound. Will be able to run BF 3 and Skyrim on high or even ultra.

Usage:
70% gaming and 30% Photoshopping

Special Needs:

Saved Ticket #: [Please Type Here]

Specifications:
Maybe an ODE 3?

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a computer that would be able to handle BF 3 or skyrim on the high-end settings. I have been looking at the ODE level 3 and it seems like a good idea. However I'm still debating if that 570 SLI would be a good choice. I'm expecting that the computer will run find without any upgrades for the near future (1 or 2 years). I'm perfectly fine with 8 gigs of ram, since that is easily upgradable if needed. I know I might sound vague, but I'm really new to this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Well you can get ode 3 but then in the future if you want to upgrade the sli to future cards and they have needs of a 580 sli the 800w can't do it.

Keep in mind we recommend upgradeing gpus once every 2 - 3 years so that the system stays powerful in gaming.

we can make a custom config for you if you like will cost more but be able to do dual sli whatever and will have better performing/more reliable parts.

All depends as I mentioned. You need to take the entire life of the system into account, if you have to upgrade psu and etc, then in the long run you are spending more money and doing some labor yourself, so in the long run you have spent more, done some labor and you have inferior cpu cooler, hdd , mobo, and case and etc.

but it is a great deal for that price.

you didn't tell me your res.

Skyrim really doesn't have very high hardware requirements.  I'm running it on ultra 1920 x 1080 res with a AMD dual core and a GT440.  But if you also like FPS then you will want SLI.
