Budget 2500.00
Using this system for all new games coming out, Diable 3, Skyrim ect and I have 2 monitors, a 27" and a 22" with 1980 x 1020 resolution. Would like a sytem that boots quickly and runs games fast. Any help would be great as things have changed to fast for me to keep up.
 
Looks like I will get order ODE Level 3, it is pre configured and seems to meet my needs. Will it work well with a 30" Dell monitor?

There is no problem so big or complicated that it cannot be run away from.

hey Miller,
welcome to DS!
im assuming that both monitors are at that 1980 x1020 resolution?
if so, this build would give you fantastic performance, its a little over your budget ($2709). if you dont have the wiggle room drop down to one GTX 570 instead of two and add a 1Tb western digital hard drive. its really similar to my system which i love. you may want to add the internal lighting ($10, id go with red since that case comes with a red front fan). also youre going to want to ask them to add a fourth 200mm fan to the case (it has room for four but comes with three). dont forget a free t-shirt!

when you say all new games, for example for games like bf3 at those res ( 2 x 1980 x 1020) or 2560 x 1600 (30") and good aa you gonna want the 570 2.5GB sli.

so I would go with SGW's build but with sli 570 2.5GB

now having said all that your budget is not making that possible with everything else.

ode 3 will not do great with some games or if you want good aa settings at 2560 x 1600 res.
