I agree with most of this stuff, but i would maybe get a less expensive motherboard and get 2 GTX460's for SLI over a 480; theyre cheaper and outperform in every scenario, just might need a beefier PSU. Also spending $324 on ram seems kinda rediculous >.< |

Maximum capability for SLI is 2-Way for the 460, The 480 is the same price is you junction them together Fallen is correct the 480 would be a smarter purchase.
While, 12 GB of ram is overly excessive (Hypocrit here) 6 GB would easily suffice however he gave you the best optimizations in my opinion for $2,500.

Ok, that's good info to have. Whatever would you be using it for? What is your expectation of it as far as life expectancy? Do you need big HDD's or super fast ones, or both? Do you know how to put a computer together yourself? Do you want water cooling or do you not want to take the risk and have to deal with the maintenance of them? |

Well it may have taper resistant screws or something, to show it has been messed with. Or one of those foil seal thingy's. |

Gaming will be my primary use but i will be doing some small video editing on the side, I've never dealt with a water cooling system before, would like it to be good for at least a few years, I'm good with building computers have built a lot but haven't for a while so hopefully nothing to new will perplex me. Im going to go with a 2terabite HD and a sigle 60 SSD that fallen suggested.
