the 980 and 990 x's aren't much more powerful than the 2---'s, and the i7 2600k is barely any upgrade over the i5 2500k unless you do a lot of multitasking, and i don't think it's that much overit in that aspect either, only big diff is that 100 in you pocket. unless overclocking the corsair h60 isn't needed. 570 beats 60ti from some banches i saw, and 1 of a higher number will beat two of a lower, and intel ssd's always seem to be alot more expensive when i look at them. for the psu, a pro series is fine and all but also seems to cost more than a enthusiast or gaming series that is listed with the same specs. and ultimate seems like a waste to me, if you knocked down half of the unneeded stuff you could get like a 590 or a 6990 which will own that setup
 
the computer cost 2000$?

centrecom charges 3500$ with some speakers worth 200$ im not sure what im looking at but id like to have a mashine that is (the rolls roice ) or a massive bang for my buck but i will only spend 1500$ -2000$ looks like centrecom is a rip off i cant build my own computer so anyone got any ideas for a dominating computer for 2000$?

GTX 560Ti in SLi > GTX 570...
Corsair HX is modular. intel 510 is expensive because they are fast. OCZ vertex 3 is another one to consider, but I heard there are problem.
 
i wasn't say a 570 would beat sli'd 60ti's, just a 70 beats a 60ti, i was trying to point out that a single card that costs the same as 2 in sli/xfire will win

Not always true.
Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti mentioned, $215 each after rebate. Sli = $430

SLi GTX 560 Ti ($430) > GTX 580 ($440 after rebate)

oh yeah, didn't think about how once you get past the 60 or 70 they throw the price all the way up cuz if you want the best of the best you paying out of the bum hole for it plus a couple limbs too.
