Wow dude...$2500 could get SLI 8800GTX's or Crossfire 3870 x2's with a quad intel...seriously.

*Edit* Maybe not in Australia, however.

See what i mean. He doesnt want to overclock but he wants it to at least play crysis at medium settings and he wants it to last him for a few years.

EDIT: On a side note, isnt this a spider system or do i need a 3870x2 for it to be classed as a spider system??
