Also what is a good CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive to get? More stuff (seriously?): I would need a wireless card... i dont have the modem connected to my pc now so i would not get it later... and also would i need a sound card? P.S. Thanks for the help so far.
Such a high budget needs 3D gaming Get this: [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4959162&CatId=4231[/url] But it's only compatible with Nvidia video cards, so I'll let you decide.....

Supposibly, there will be a 5870x4... get it and you'll jizz.
You don't need to spend that much cash. You can get top shit for a thousand dollars less.
Well my budget has been rudced to $2500 so thats what sucks also i cant get a 30 in monitor so can someone tell me what a good 20 - 25 in monitor would be?
Get the haf 932 instead.
[QUOTE=cryticfarm;16965193]Get the haf 932 instead.[/QUOTE] Shit, why haven't i ever seen this... It looks better than the antec, its cheaper, and its slightly bigger.
Go with a 21.5" or 23" monitor and i7 with an ATI 5 series card. i9s aren't due until the first half of 2010. Antec 1200 is slightly larger than the HAF.
