First off id like to say i just discovered this site and it seems to be put together much better then the site i was previously going to buy from (Ibuypower).  I need help on configuring a computer and would really appreciate it.  I have a budget of aprox 2000 dollars on my computer and can go slightly higher if it would make a good deal of difference.
 
Thanks for your help in advance i really need it!!Big%20Smile

you didnt say... but im going to assume you mean for pure gaming.. youve come to the right place
 
$1847 is all you need for a gaming machine
 
if youre ok spending more, my suggestions would be picking up a sound card to increase your sound quality for games/movies/music
 
if you dont care much about sound, you could look into getting a 40gb or 80gb intel SSD, this would make your entire system snappier, faster boot, faster save/load, but it doesnt really change your games
 
the first is a good choice if youre really into sound quality, the 2nd is a great choice if you do other things besides game, such as photoshop, office-related work, or if you just hate wating for things to save and load Big%20Smile

thats up to you
SSDs are definitely not a waste of money, and its in your budget to get one
 
but keep in mind that thier bonus is all about time waiting, has little to nothing to do with actual game performance, so .. given the 2 choices above
a sound card would directly change your gaming exp, but you would have to have a good set of headphones to see a difference.. and you'd have to care about sound quality
the ssd would indirectly change your gaming by reducing load/save/opening times very significantly. and it will improve the speed of things like photoshop, ms office programs, just speeds up everything really
both a sound card and an SSD are easy to add later and low priced, so you have little to lose if you dont choose either or only choose one
