Hi CoopNasty,
I think we can fix you up with a great system with that budget. We need to know the resolution of the monitors and will they be 3D. Will you game on both monitors at the same time? Frank Edited by FrankW - 15 Nov 2012 at 7:33am |

Also, what level video editing do you do? Is it casual or more involved where a quad channel memory motherboard as opposed to a dual channel mobo would be needed. X79 vs Z77 basically. Would a 6 core cpu be needed or will 4 core suffice? Its a $300 difference.

Another thought is to check out the ODE level 4. Its sli, 2x gtx 670 will play great on single or dual 23" 2D monitor for example. Its a place to start and is one of Digital Storm's best deals and well below your budget.
If you want more options the Dreadnought level 2 or 3 are great rigs and have a lot of options. The ODE is a prebuilt system with limited options but give most all they need. Any questions please let us know. Lots of customers just like you here to help. Edited by bprat22 - 15 Nov 2012 at 2:59pm |

Hi CoopNasty,
Here is the ODE-4 that would also do a good job for you. Some of the equipment is not top of the line but certainly capable of doing the job. The ODE is a pre-built system and you can't make changes with out paying a fee for each change.
