Depends on what type of games you plan on playing. You should be able to build a beast for way less that 3500 though. What are you trying to play? If you build you own, which isn't too tough you can save a lot of cash.
Fuck dual cards and cooling...that shits for bragging. You can make a bad ass box that can run everything listed without that trash. Save you a ton of money too. New Egg is a great company to order from. I've built two systems using them, and have had good experiences.
Fuck those douche bags. They are more than likely using moms credit card to buy their shit. You seem to be a little smarter than that.

yea if i don't get the dual and don't get the liquid cooling version i wouldn't have to get that tower either so it would save me a grand.
I'm thinking about the solid state also, i mean before the solid state the regular hard drive disk was the real bottle neck, but its really expensive and it'll of course get cheaper down the road. but its just gonna be a bitch to reinstall windows on to the solid state (gonna put all applications/OS on the solid-state of course and than just regular data on my regular hard drive)
still thinking bout that. but its crazy how 1 TB regular hard drives are so cheap
I have bought/built gaming rigs for years now, and this is my advice:
Always go for the middle price class, don't spend a LOT of extra money to get a little extra performance. In your case that means drop the liquid cooling, solid state drive and dual graphic cards. I'd skip the blu ray burner as well, but perhaps you've got a use for it.
Why drop the SSD? Because you can't really use it for your games, because one game can take up tens of Gigs of space by itself. So you end up spending hundreds of dollars, just so you save a couple of seconds on your Windows start-up time.
Why not take dual video cards? First of all because it is overkill (unless you plan on playing on three 24" screens or something). Second because your video card is one of the first components that gets outdated and will need to be replaced.
honestly, this doesn't make sense because all the games are also made for old ass ps3 and xbox 360. yes they look a bit better on a high end pc, but not too much. you should wait until the new consoles come out and the bar is set way higher again. and even then buying the best of the best makes no sense for gaming, as it is only a few % better than something much cheaper. and it will not be the best of the best after a few months anymore anyway. crysis 1 was the best game graphics wise ever and it didn't sell too well because they didn't release it for the weak consoles. now that they had to make crysis 2 for the weak ass xbox 360 in order to make a profit, the game was nothing special for high end pc standards anymore. are you willing to pay $3000 to play the upcoming crysis 3 just a bit better than niggas who play it on the weak ass xbox 360 that costs like $250? if no, don't do it. simple as that. ain't nothing better than crysis out there anyways (strictly technical I mean... the game is not really fun imo)
If I got dual gtx 680s wouldn't that prevent me from upgrading my video card for a while? I usually don't upgrade my computer till it gets pretty laggy on medium settings
As for the solid state, I'm getting it, before SSD the hard drive disk was one of the bottlenecks, plus I can use it for work, because I use multiple virtual machines for work.
And the blu ray burner I'm gonna either rip the ones I have, or burn the ones I've downloaded
I'm getting a 512 SSD so I prob run out of space that quick, and all my data is gonna be on my reg hardrive,
But I am wondering about the videocard, would one non liquid cooling video card last long as a dual liquid cooling video card? I really don't plan to upgrade till 5-8 years later if I get mY build

Of course if you want the best of the best and don't mind spending the money, you should go for the dual cards and SSD. But if you are asking if those are necessary for a good gaming PC, then no they are not. You will spend a lot of money for a little extra imo.
By the way, as for upgrading your video card: buying dual video cards won't prevent you from upgrading in the long run. At least not if you want to play the newest games for 8 years. Not so much because of a lack of power, but because of new DirectX versions which your card won't support etc. And in the coming couple of years you will just have an overkill with the two cards. In any case i'd save the money from one card to buy a new one in four years.
i don't know i always wanted liquid cooling since i was a kid, cuz it just looks cool.

you are considering building a new computer for gaming, and you are asking other people to see if it is worth it for you or not????
were you mexican?
I dont think its worth spending so much unless its one of your main hobbies and passions(gaming). If you plan to play on line shooters and play competitively and if the sort who wants all teh latest games and buy new games all the time then yes indeed its worth the $$$ but if not theres no need to spend quite so much.
Theres no point buying one where you cant crank up the graphics and will become obsolete before long but some people go SO overkill. Like purchase more ram that a pc would ever need and etc.
But if you use your pc as your entertainment ahh system its also worth the doe, i watch movies, tv shows, anime, etc and game and listen to music all through my pc and multi task so you need a good computer for that.
Shit lots of people these days run dual monitors as to watch something and chat or surf or shop , etc at the same time.
just kidding ma friendyou are considering building a new computer for gaming, and you are asking other people to see if it is worth it for you or not????
were you mexican?
what does being mexican have to do with it, I'm haven't gotten a computer myself in more than 10 years, and I'm bout to drop over 3 grand on it, thats basically the same amount for down payment on a decent car.
of course I'm gonna ask for suggestions, if i didn't clearly there would of been something wrong.
and your lights arnt ya? I'm not a money crazy armo or persian that constantly buys jewelry and benz's that i can't afford. I'm an average 22 yr old, if i spend around 5 g's on anything i should think twice unless its completely necessary, and a gaming rig isn't.

^ yeah the ace pilots in BF use joysticks.
Yeah iam not into MMO'si love single player RPG's though. I love FPS games. iam in a clan and playing BF3 with a bunch of mates is mad fun. A whole squad rolling together with actual team work and coordination is mad. Killing each other is fun too.
Need decent pc for bf3 but no need to go crazy. Definitely need a good gaming mouse and surround sound head set. i just use crappy cheap keyboards.
Iam guessing dead space is on PC.
