Money isn't really an issue, BUT, saving is always nice. I'm not sure if you read but I'm NOT making this myself. I have little to no time to put it together with my classes that I'm taking and I'm being shipped to summer school during... well... summer, so I have little to no control over the prices of all the parts.
With my current monitor, 1440x900.
Also, @Minivan Man, I have no necessity for whoring attention. Perhaps you've been on 4chan for far too long, but, every once in a while, people do need honest help. Yes. Once in a while.
@CABLE
Never been on that site, how bout you?
Seriously though I do understand the need for help, I have a thread going on right now for a msn error code. I am just saying, you are going a little bit overkill here
Well I couldn't recommend any crossfire setup or even sli for any resolution below 1920x1080. I recommend you stick with a single 6950 or a GTX 560 Ti. You only reap the benefits of crossfire if you game at higher resolutions. The higher the resolution the better the crossfire scaling is.
Also here is a quick build I got off whirlpool (which is an australian site)
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500 $219
Mobo: Asrock P67 Extreme4 B3 $229
RAM: Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1333 $99
SSD: G.Skill Phoenix Pro 60GB $159 (Vertex 2's seem to malfunction)
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $57
GPU: 2GB AMD Radeon HD6950 $282

ODD: LiteOn DVD burner $40
CPU HSF: Coolermaster Universal Hyper 212+ $33
Peripherals: [ 24" BenQ G2420HD / Sidewinder X4 / Sidewinder X5 / Edifier M1350 2.1 ] (+$301)
Total: $1,738 ($2,039 w/ peripherals)
Thats in AUD. I suspect newegg will be a bit cheaper.
I'm usually the video editer and what-not so it's not only for gaming. On my current computer, I have 3GB of RAM from who knows what brand and my graphics card is a Quadro something. Took my 6 hours to render a 48 second video and it turns out I forgot to check the render with sound box. Also, you said to see the note above for the G.Skill SSD. The site I'm getting my rig at is CyberPower PC. - Custom Built Gaming PC and Gaming Laptops
I'd prefer G.Skill RAM but they don't offer it there so I'm stuck with Corsair or Kingston, but I don't mind.
It doesn't really matter about the RAM. The note was about OCZ Vertex 2 malfunctioning, I went back and edited the post.
Also heres what I got from that site, This is a fully fledged system including monitor, gaming keyboard and mouse, and 5.1 surround sound.
