new sytem

[1nub]

Hey I'm looking to get a new desktop in like 2-3 weeks

My budget is in the range of 1500-2000

I was looking for something that I can use to play DX11 and then some photoshop cs5 stuff, I already have two 24" monitor's for the build. Most likely get an SLI or crossfire setup.

 

This is what I have so far

i7 930

antec 1200

corsair 750tx

intel x25 80gb ssd

wd 1tb black hdd

samsung lightscribe dvd burner

 

not really sure on what gpu, mobo and ram I should get for this setup, also what cooling would you recommend for it?

 

thanks

is your $1500-$2000 budget including what you have or is that just for the mobo, video card and ram?

I dont have any of those items those are just items that I have been looking into

im assuming those monitors are at 1920 x 1080, so i recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814125323

 

as for the mobo, i cant really say which one is the best but, id personally use this:

Here is my suggestion:

if you drive to the micro center in VA you can get a i7 930 for $200 saving you some money

yeah I might I live right next to it hahha

[1nub]

would just one 5870 be good enough for video editing, photoshop, games etc. or should I go with something else and get crossfire or SLI with ?

[CowKing]

depends on your personal preference, but a 5870 should rock anything you throw at it. If your budget is that high i would suggest getting a GTX 480

[joel.monteiro]

go for the 5870 its a beast better than a gtx 470

[1nub]

I think this will be what the order will look like most likely? Anything that should be changed or re-looked at?
