I got $2,500 to spend

[RichThomas]

I'm willing to spend $2,500 on a new computer, anyone have any awesome builds? Thanks alot for the time spent. I already have two monitors for poker. =]
I'd like to stay away from AMD and I'm gonna get the new 260 Video card from Nvidia. This computer is for gaming only.

OK - what do you need??? just the box???

 

[junker]

You can check out the build I just posted. Looking for comments on it but it will run about half what you are looking to spend.

OS included? You can get an AMAZING setup with $2,500!

I think we can do an OS in it, windows vista

With a budget like that why not go with the 4870x2 or the GTX 280?

yeah, but he said he wants to go with an nvidia card, so idk. i just really like the x48 chipset.

if you dont NEED to have an nividia card get the 4870X2

Id go for a Q6600 and grab an intel 6core when they come out. Might as well Kick all the ass you can if you're spending enough for a car.

great build cleric. the only thing I would change is to scrap the expensive optical drive, and SLI the video card instead. he would still be well within budget

Yeah looks good, but that's a crossfire board with a GTX 280.

That just means that the board will support crossfire...the GTX 280 will work in it fine.
