New Gaming Rig

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
I am in the market for a newer pc, able to handle battlefield: bad company 2, call of duty: black ops and also battlefield 3 (medium to high settings).

I will be upgrading from an AMD Phenom II X4 9250 Denab, 2x 6800gt sli, 4gb gskill ddr2.

I want to go with an i7 setup with dual 580gt's. But also wanting to keep it around $3k or maybe a little less if possible.  If anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated.

 Thank you

The first question that would arise from your post is, at what resolution will you be gaming?

dual 580 is overkill for that res.

here is a system that has one card now but is ready for you drop in a second, but don't be surprised of you see you don't need it:

if you still want sli we can go ahead and add the second now, but IMO wait and see if you need it.

Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the top, so you endup with 4 x 200mm fans:

I don't think SB is the second gen, but the problem was never the chip, it was with the mobo, the fixed ones are coming in but slow from what Alex said.

Wow boss you got some miss info, Noctua is the cpu cooler, its job is only to cool the cpu, and has nothing at all to do with adding the fan I'm talking about, the fan I'm talking about is from cooler master that makes the haf, the case comes with 1 top, 1 side, 1 front fan, there is room for another big fan on top, so that you end up with 2 top, 1 side and 1 front fan.

Hope that clears it up

Very good

the black caviar was chosen for its speeds, its got faster transfer speed then a single veloci, if you want raid, then raid 2 x 1tb black caviar, but its not needed. 1TB is a better option, you lose a drive in raid and you lose your data.

*bump*
I did this only because I really want to get this ordered asap. I just need to know exactly where I am looking on the config page as to where the fans I need are

if ur going off the of the build DST has further up you would order that exactly and just tell them you want another 200mm fan added to the top of the case since it only comes with one and youll be good to go.

Ya basically tell them you want this fan added to the top:

I have referred enough people to do the same thing, so I think by know as soon as you mentioned it, they know what you are talking about, just make sure it does not get mistaken with the fan upgrade option, thats not what you want.
