cyric1966 :
My wife just gave the go ahead to spend $1500 on a gaming tower and I want to order it asap before she changes her mind. Can you guys help me with the build?
I have monitor, keyboards, mouse etc, just building a tower.
I want:
Intel System
Windows 7 64bit
Quality full size tower
SLI would be awesome, I may eventually play this on a big screen. (I prefer Nvidia but not a deal breaker)
SSD at least for the OS
The best I can get for the money,,, over kill is OK!
I dont want to wait for Z68 and I dont care about USB 3.0 crap
So , If you had $1500 to spend on a tower today what would you build for yourself?

You can add a second of the video cards now, and hit your budget, or leave it out and be under budget. Should be a solid build however.
