Hi.

As the title says I've got a budget on $1900 I'm willing to add in another $100 if neccesary.

I want to be able to play the newest games, and I want to be able to do some 3d animating and mostly use Adobe After Effects. And of course I want the computer to be future proof. I've been searching around some different threads this forum and of course I've found a lot of great setups, but I can also see that a lot of the posts are people asking how you would recommend thier setup to be, so I thougt I would try that as well.

Thanks
 
 
 
I have 4 gigs in that set up, sorry forgot to mention. All that and 4 gigs of RAM is 1900.00.
 
yea dont get that case its not necessary.

get the 900
and a 1000W power supply if you think you need all that wattage. Dont bother with 2 diff power supplies and that enormous case.

OMG that is one nice piece of setup. Love the 2x3870X2 :P
 
If you don't want to spend $800 on a GPU then i'd go with two 8800GT's for like ~$450 or just one 3870x2 for about the same price
 
dual 8800GTS(g92)
quad core 2.4GHZ
680i motherboard
4gigs of ddr2 800
thermalake armor
zalman cooler
800W psu
2 250GB hard drives
and a cd/dvd burner.
