    Want a new pc

    Hey,

    With upcoming tax time and me been able to get a few extra $$$'s i was thinking to myself about getting a new pc.. i have around 2k$ saved up so far and will be getting roughly 2-3k$ back in tax(hopefually) so that gives me a budget of 4-5k. Now its a lot to spend on a computer and i really dont want to spend that much im thinking 3k if not a little more... now i know a real little bit about computer hardware so advice on what to get and how much would be much help.

    Games im planing on playing:
    Battlefield 3
    SW ToR
    WoW
    SC II/HoTS

    and any other future FPS/RTS games

    Performance build is one of the best on the market currently.

    If you wait until next year, the year after that we'll see another new processor, and he might as well wait for that. While he waits for that, well you get the idea.
    It may be worth waiting for the next X58 platform. (I don't remember what the hell it's called.)

    The computer I linked you will run it at the highest possible graphics it'll run at with great FPS.

    I spent about 3K on a computer last summer, and if I were to do that again now, it would pretty much be the same as Fuzzy's Performance build. There is always something better around the corner, but right now you're not going to see any products come out that will be better for gaming until 2012

    Why hope when you can watch videos and read info? :O
    And yes it is almost a BF2 with better graphics since its finally a sequel to BF2. Unlike bad companies.
