   Budget:

2.5k

Expectations:

I've been searching for great desktop for gaming and I expect my money would be worth to spend on what digitalstorm can offer. 

Usage:

Games like BF3, MMORPG's, Videos, Etc

Special Needs:

The games i'll plan should beplayable at ultra settings, I did select 2gpu=gtx570 1.2gb.. I'm just not sure if the 800 watts is good enuf, and the system memory are fine.   I know games like BF3 would require powerful gpu, I would not be bothered If I can play it on High Settings too. Do I need to ask to OC it? 

Saved Ticket #: 664557  

Specifications:

I'm open to any suggestions.

The two together with your cpu can easily handle the oc safely. Check it out and Good Luck. Edited by bprat22 - 12 Mar 2012 at 10:41am

	Welcome to the forums, lexogee. Taking a look, you could feasibly upgrade to the GTX 570 2.5 GB for a little more bang for your buck, and stay within your budget (minus shipping cost, which would put it over by somewhere around $50, if you can swing that). Otherwise, without your intended monitor resolution, it's hard to give more info on the video cards used. Two 570s will get you ultra settings on a non-3D 1920x1080 resolution monitor, if I'm not mistaken.

	For that resolution you could almost get by with a single gtx 570 2.5GB card. Two in sli would probably be overkill, but give you room to go 1920x1050 if you ever wanted.
