   Hi Everyone!
About to purchase but just wanted to get some advice from this great community!  Please respond with words of advice or approval.

Budget
As far under $2,000 as possible.  Looking for most performance for the dollar without having to pay large amounts ($100 to $200) for small FPS rewards.

Expectation
Single Monitor at 1080p with no plans to ever upgrade resolution.  Maybe a second monitor down the road so I can look up quests while playing.  Want to play current games and games released for next 2 to 3 years at very high settings.

Usage
Games will be the most demanding thing I do.

Special Needs
Would prefer the PC to be as quiet as possible.

I tried to upgrade things up to before there was a big jump in price.

	to do what you asked (Want to play current games and games released for next 2 to 3 years at very high settings) you need slicf 570/6970. which is our of your budget, best we can do is give you a system that can do sli/cf but has one gpu right now, you add the ssd and the second gpu later yourself. your config is all kinds of wrong. so let me know what you like to do, single system with no sli/cf ability or single system with sli ability, fyi single system with sli ability will land around $2000.
