I'm looking to build a new gaming PC. I currently own a laptop, the DV7T Quad Edition which is labeled as a Gaming PC but it is most definitely not. It cannot run a single game at over 30 FPS on lowest settings (Around 13 FPS in Minecraft, everything turned down). So basically, I'm looking for a build that will just crush everything that I throw at it on max settings, games like DayZ, ARMA 3, Battlefield 3, Bioshock Infinite, Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2, Skyrim, and a lot of the other triple A titles. My budget is at $1500 but if hiking up the budget a bit will vastly increase my performance, I'll go for it. I'm also going to be using this build for just some basic video editing. Also, I was looking to be doing some Multi-Monitoring, just two 27" 1080p monitors, one running my game and on the other side possibly just my Email or Youtube open. I have also been trying to decide between a GTX 680 FTW 4GB or a Sapphire AMD 7970 3GB GHz edition, could someone post some pros and cons of the two cards down here and what your favored choice of which that I should choose for my setup is. All answers are very appreciated and any advice that you guys can give me will help. Thank you for your time.
