Looking for advice on a new computer spec

[Naysayer]

Here is a computer I was recommended at buydirectpc.com. They are asking for $3100. Is it reasonable for this equipment or could I get it much cheaper?

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz x 4 1333FSB 12MB cache overclocked to 3.2GHz 1600MHz FSB
Motherboard: EVGA 790i Ultra (NVIDIA 790I SLI)
DDR3 Memory: 8GB dual-channel: 4 x 2048MB DDR3 1333MHz
Hard Drive: 320GB 16MB cache 7200RPM SATA2
Optical Drive: LG 20X SATA DVD-Burner with Software GH20NS15 and LG 22X SATA Lightscribe DVD-burner with Software GH22LS30
Video Card (PCI Express x16): 2 x 9800 GTX 512MB in SLI XHD Gaming
Removable Storage Device: Internal 8-in-1 Card Reader
Sound Card: On-board high-definition sound system (???????)
Network Card: Integrated LAN with 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet Controller
Power Supply: Silverstone Decathlon DA850 850W modular Active PFC
CPU Cooling: Stage 4 Cooling: Self-contained maintenance-free water cooling system
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

You could build that pc yourself for about half the price.

This is more towards what you would need for 5boxing at a lower price.

You'll need to order some monitors. I'd suggest Newegg.com, their 22" Acers are amazing for around 200$ a piece. If you want a sound card, you'll need to find one of those as well, but you really don't need one for WoW, or at least you don't need a pricey one. You can find your own keyboard and mouse I'm sure, if you want something really nice and new go for the logitech g15.


What you had listed in your reply would definitely work well and be exactly what you were asking for in a powerful pc, but I wouldn't pay the 3 grand for it unless I were an Oil Tycoon. If money isn't an issue, go ahead and get the one you were recommended. If you want to spend a lot less, the spec I marked for you in the link will suffice.
