Hello All,

I've been poking around for a good mid range PC for gaming. Trying to keep it at 1700 and I came up with the build below. My current monitor is only 1650 x 1080 but I plan to upgrade to a 1920 x 1080 in a couple months. Here is the build I came up with. Currently I'm playing Rift and Dragon Age II but would expect the computer to run Crysis 2 and Battlefied 3 as well as next years games on high with no problems as well Any opinions ?

I see.


I would assume for SLI capability in the future I would need a 1000W PSU and the Pro/Deluxe mobo's correct ?


In my current config is the change to the Corsair PSU from the default PSU for the 5 year warranty ?

Thanks again for all the advice.

correct if you got the 1000W corsair and a pro/deluxe motherboard you can do SLI. If your going to add any pci-e cards such as a sound card later or something i would strongly recommended going with the deluxe since it has more pci-e lanes.
