So the wife is coming in to some money, so I think I'm going to pass on my AMD build to either her or my daughter.
I have a really rough idea what I'm going to buy, I'd like to see what you guys come up with.
Approximate Purchase Date: May-July
Budget Range: $3000 don't include rebates I never do them
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Mouse, I also have a 5870 2GB that I would consider Xfiring. But I'd prefer a 6xxx or 7xxx series(or nVidia equivalent 5xx 6xx). But if I can get good performance by cheaply adding another 5870 that's ok too.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com only. Loyal.
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Because of the budget, I prefer Intel. I have a mild preference for AMD for GPUs just because of the power efficiency. But I'm posting this to get other viewpoints so do what you please for build recommendations. I'd like a Noctua NH-D14 air cooler and 80 PLUS GOLD PSU. Also my preference is for a single card GPU solution. But Xfire/SLI will be considered. Motherboard should be 8x/8x minimum
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: Will need 3 monitors 1920x1080 each totalling 5760x1080
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC)
