Basically what I'm trying to accomplish here is a build that can play games (WoW, GW2, Farcry,... ect.) on high/ultra settings while recording at 60fps. I'm not to knowledgeable with computers, so I tried looking into several brands/models with each of the parts, and this is the list I came up with. I'm hoping it's a little overkill, so I can save myself some cash (:P) but I'm looking to spend max around $2,000.
The monitors I don't really need, but I've always wanted a 3 screen set up, hehe. Other than that, I'm not really looking for any new peripherals, as I enjoy my set up.
Thanks for taking the time to review my soon-to-be-hopefully-future rig.
