3500 gaming computer

[specter539]

So lets say I can spend up to 3500 dollars on a gaming computer. What would you guys recommend for the different parts? Id like to be able to play all the most demanding games on high settings. Don't forget to add the best keyboard/mouse/speakers for gaming too I'm interested to see what you guys come up with.

i didn't have enough left for water cooling and no sound card as i'm not sure which one is good or not. this setup is similar to what i will be getting/have.

I have the x-fi extreme music, but I don't find it on newegg.

i think spawn just grabbed what he wanted, instead of price hunting. If he did look for items with the same or close to the specs he could easily fit in a watercooling system.

I would switch out those Plextors for 1 Samsung.

Then use the rest to buy an OS.

pretty much but thats for 2 74gb hdd's i accidentally erased the price of each i think around 150 i always forget about the stupid os. i just like looking at the newer parts and what not. i'm sure you could easley get a better overall system for cheaper.

I bet newegg prices are just about the best you can get, without heavy searching, and besides newegg does a better job with customer service and has better shipping.

And i would personally try to wait for AMD's TRUE quad cores to come out. Phenom. the intel ones are just two dual cores slapped together.
