   config # 546625   Need upgradability. Dell monitor (UltraSharp U2311H)and dual gpu in future
Budget $1900-2,000 Use games, online, multiplayer, music organizer and player. Plan sound card and SSd Intel 120 hard drive for oper. system in future. Want max frames per second on games and future. 
Questions:- House has electronic air filter that charges air particles so all dust collects on walls, etc. I blow out enclosed case every 6 months now. IS this Still good for this build or recomendations?  -Gpu cards- How fast do you need for online gaming? -Is it the modem, computer or cable speed that holds you back or is there a place to find out the answer? Any recomendations( I Know Nothing!)

Thanks
Doug

	I reviewed your configuration (http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadsaved.asp?id=546625) and it looks great to me. The card you have currently selected is a great mid-range performer. I was able to create ticket # 547187, by upgrading the video cards to a GTX 570 and changing the motherboard to the Sabertooth which is still great. It came out to exactly $2,000 as well. In terms of online gaming, if you have a DSL or cable connection that is a 1MB connection, you should be perfectly fine.

	Alex's build is solid. You can't go wrong with that. If you could up your budget just a tad more and get the 2600k, you would be glad you did!
