I want to purchase a new computer for gaming and general home computer.  I play mostly FPS (COD/MW3) with a 23" and a 19" monitor.  I want to upgrade to a 27' monitor and will keep the 23".  I have an extensive music collection and would also like to do some picture/video editing.  I do live in a dusty environment and I don't really care about noise within reason.  My budget is about 2,500 but if I can get the new monitor to that would be great. 

 

I am looking at the Digital Storm Ode level 3...is this too much?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Goner

looks like a real nice sys to me

I have the socket 1156 sabertooth and it's a great board to OC. not sure with the 800W Psu though. I have 2x6970 in crossfire and a 4Ghz CPU running and my 850W Enermax Psu will be changed to a 1200 W Enermax soon. :)OC + SLI + water cooling and some additional fans recommends a good Psu. maybe try a Psu calculator that's what I did. ;) shows me I need at least a 1100 w Psu.

Damn Sun, that is almost identical my new system that I am building!!  I have most of the parts, but I am waiting on the Case now, a Cooler Master HAF X 922.  I went with the G-Skill Ripjaws 16 GB of RAM and just a 90 GB SSD.  I am thinking of adding a second 1 TB HDD to run in RAID format, but that is almost exactly my system!!!  oh wait....and I went with the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro mobo.
