haha

Thanks..Yea trying to make the best system out..
So I can not upgrade for 6 years..as 6 years ago I bought the best laptop out and now its not that great anymore so upgrading.

[Ualaa]

I hear you.

My current system, was very much an overkill system at the time I bought it.
Just under $4000 canadian, which at the time was maybe $3200 us.

It is certainly adequate for my uses, but 3 years down the road.. ie, today..
For a lot less, I could build a stronger system.
Top of the line is always the most fun to have and play with.
But a few steps back is more economical, and you can upgrade more often.
Still, if you can afford it, top of the line is a very nice way to go too.

Well...Its way more then $4000 for the total system..The Price in total does not include the keyboard or mouse as I will be getting them at a different store.

I will attach the proper specs in a picture.

The total in USD is $10,775 for AUD its $13,337..

I had help by a friend that builds gaming machines to find the best specs out..and compared to the alienware setup maxed out this one is allot better..though the cases of alienware are awesome the one I'm getting looks pretty good just no sexy led lights..lol

Thats alot of money to spend on a pc. I only spent about 2200-2500 on my i7 and it eats 5 wows like its nothing.

yeah serously wow will run on your grandmothers computer ... u dont need to throw down 13k .. but hey if you got it like that ... go for it ...

*wets pants* I tried to hold it in, honest!

Why not get the 920 and OC it? Save yourself $700 to spend elsewhere on the system? And as fast as technology moves these days it's pretty hard to 'future-proof'. 6 Core i7's are coming later this year. -> link <-

I'm sure 8 core home system processors are right around the corner as well. If you want to future proof, and seem to have all this money, I'd look at a dual 4 core Xeon system with 64GB [or more] memory...that should last you some time.
