Recomend a gaming system for a newbie

[Zeus103363]

Can anyone willing post up a good gaming build for me that will meet most of my other needs.

Budget $800-$900 not including shipping
Tower only
Needs to be at least a 4 core processor with the capabilities for 3 monitors.
Amd or intel doesn't matter.
Would be nice to be upgradeable in the future.

Will be used for heavy gaming ( my kids and myself included) internet, watch blue rays, play music. I also need autocad for some work I do away from work.

Would probably be used 4-8 hours daily.

If the build works out I will be building a second.

I will start buying parts as soon as I have the details on exactly what I am ordering.


Thanks!

Been a while since I'v done a full rig suggestion, too many people coming in with perfect rigs or have completely botched it and I have to guide them. Should be fun.
Gotta love the Black Friday sales, its now possible to make very good budget rigs!

That will be a very nice, upgradable, overclocking gaming machine. Should be sufficiently strong for Autocad as well.
