I am planning on ordering a gaming desktop from you next month. I have done a fair ammount of research and utilized your forums. As I am currently deployed to Afghanistan i have a difficult time keeping up with the changes and new posts. I want a gaming computer for single 1900x1200 res, for WOW, SCII and COD mainly

Ticket: 520639
Budget: about $4,500
 
I have three main questions.
1. I want a LC system. Can I get the Frost Chill system with a video card cooling loop? How much would that be with the GPUs listed below ?
2. Intel 320 v Intel MLC X25 which is faster for gaming in the 160GB field?
3. there are so many opinions on GPUs. right now I am torn between GeForce 590x1, 580x1, or 580x2 SLI

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,
Capt J USMC

Intel 320 will be faster, and cheaper.

1. CPU and GPU, CPU only, GPU only, w/e, makes no difference. They're all orderable.
3. Dual 580s will overpower a single 590. Pricewise, I dunno though. Current leader in value is the GTX 570.

All the BS stuff that makes no difference and all the stuff that is basically waste of money has been removed, so if you don't see it in my build don't get it.

as for your monitor I would go with this one instead if all you want to spend is around $300:

Dell UltraSharp U2311H 23

if you want a real good and quality 27" then this is the one you want:

dell24"Dell UltraSharp U27

if you go with this 27" then let me know as we will need to change your gpu setup, since it will have a much higher res.
