Default $1500 SLI Gaming Build.. Need Help

My buddy asked me to build him a complete computer for $1500 including the monitor, os, complete tower, POSSIBLY a keyboard/mouse and speakers.

He wants to run most anything he throws at it on high or highest so im thinking crossfire or SLI.

I'll be back in 2 hours so I apologize that I won't be able to respond to the questions about his exact needs.

Cya guys in 2 hours

I think this will work. I have never done a Wishlist before. I always just email the cart lol.

*EDIT* Oops! I forgot an optical drive. Can't fix it right now cuz I have to go to class. I have a lightscribe combo model from Lite-On that I really like for about $33.

I selected "share" but I don't see anything that will allow me to make it public.

That should do it. Add a Lite-On combo drive with lightstribe for $33, or without lightscribe for $26.

GRRRRRR the damn E8400 is IMPOSSIBLE to find!!!!! NewEgg is out again.

I might just have to remove that 10,000 rpm hard drive, switch out the mobo to 780i and the monitor to samsung and throw in a 2nd g92 and it might be perfect

Bleh. Unless you want Tri-SLI, the 780i is a waste of money. And that monitor gets great reviews on NewEgg, I think it will be a really nice monitor.

The 10,000 RPM drive is up to you. I really like having mine. I have the same setup with that 500GB drive and the 10k Raptor.

However, note that I have seen some people having issues with the 750i chipset. I doubt it's been out long enough for people to really have a problem with it and it is probably people being stupid, but that may be something to consider. I still say 750i FTW, FTW. As redundant as that may be lol.
