Hello,
I am looking to build a gaming PC with the GTX 680 for around 1500$- I can push that up to 1600$ if necessary, but not higher. I'd also like it to be easily upgradeable in the future (GTX 690 or maybe SLI)

Manufacturer preferences: Intel, Nvidia
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
