Budget:
2500-2700$

Expectations:
I expect to be able to play Star wars: The old republic, Shogun 2 total war, and any other mmo/stratagy game on high-ultra setting.

Usage:
I will be using this desktop for gaming.


Special Needs:
I have no special needs.


Specifications:
I just want to get the best bang for my buck and I saw that people have posted asking for builds and that other people have been very good giving builds. Any help putting together a build would be great. Thanks :)

now the HDD setup with these builds is:

HDD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage

you can drop the ssd if you like and save money, you can always add a ssd later, but keep in mind its good to have balanced power.

you can drop ram to 4GB and save money, again you can always easily add more ram later.
