	If your going to get a computer for less then 2,000 don't go with any of the black ops edition rigs. Dreadnought or ODEv2 would be a good choice.

	Hi AwesomeSauce.......Welcome to the forums. N6D4 is right on. The ODE V2 level 1 for $1499 will give you about the same gaming for less . The sli , 2x 560 and single gtx 670 are close in gaming but a single more powerful card is better and the 670 being newer will have better support and replacement options as time goes on. Go to Special Ops section and check out the ODE lineup or Dreadnaught as N6D4 suggest if you want a custom build. Here's a link that compares single 560T1 to single 670. The 670 is close to double the single 560T1. 2nd card doesn't double performance. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/598?vs=547 Good Luck. Edited by bprat22 - 19 Jul 2012 at 6:33am
