I'm fairly tech savvy, and I know my way around computers well enough, however I've never designed and built one, due to lack of funds. I now find myself with a LOT of extra money, and a desire for a beast of a computer. I do a lot of multi-tasking, and a lot of gaming. I typically run a minimum of two monitors at a time on my laptop, but I want to be able to do more (hence the two video cards). I usually have a movie on my large TV, between one and three game windows open, many internet tabs, and a heavy traffic game server running in the background.
I'm pretty set on the specs, but if there are any suggestions on how to make it better, parts I should get or avoid, or any general input, I would be most grateful!
