I'm new to this forum but decided to jump right in, sorry I initially posted in the wrong thread and sorry if this is the wrong one as well
Price: $2000-$2500
Purpose: Gaming, Multi-tasking, File compression and decompression, Folding
Already have: Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers, OS, Ram, External drives and PSU, miniDP to DVI active adapter, DP to DVI active adapter
-I'm looking for a build that will run 2560x1440 or 5760x1080 with ease
-I want to stay away from watercooling if I can, as I don't want to waste my system with a hose breaking. I also want to stay away from Thermaltake due to poor quality.
-I'd like the build to be future proof as much as possible as well
-I'm looking to play games such as Crysis, Max Payne 3, Metro 2033, Skyrim with mods
-I will use the i5 in my current build if there isn't much performance gain with Ivy Bridge(Not sure if PCIE 3.0 makes a difference).
-I'm also skeptical on the Yamakasi monitors but will go with one if they have good performance and will last about as long as other brand name monitors
-I have no preference over ATI or NVIDIA for a graphics card, have only heard that crossfire scales better and 7970 is better at multi-monitor
The build I'm looking at is: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=17786871
-I will make any changes to it if there are options with better performace
Monitor: YAMAKASI-CATLEAP-2703-LED-27-2560X1440-WQHD-IPS or 2 more HP 2711x
Thanks for your time
