Hi, i am a newbie at building computers. I'm looking for suggestion on what design and config would be best.
1. My Budget: around $3,000 just for the rig. 2. Expectation: Run any games smoothly on high settings (Skyrim, BF3...etc.). Intermediate multitasking. 3. Usage: Mostly gaming, maximum cooling system (my room avg temp is 75F) 4 Special Needs: Quiet :) Thank you for your time. |

We need to know your res before anything else. If you have no monitor chosen we recommend the dell ultra sharp series.

As mentioned we need to know you res so we know how much power it takes to max it.
your room temp plays the biggest part in your cooling, if your room temp is hot (80f or higher) then you gonna have load problems, but 75f is a good room temp to have. 95% of noise is gonna be from gpu's fan when under load, the only way to deal with that is to put them under lc, and that is beyond your budget.

Oh sorry. The resolution is either 1920x1080 or 1900x1200.I'd prefer 1920x1080
