Hi, first of all thanks for reading my post. My rig is half for higher end gaming (Skyrim, Boarderlands 2, Diablo III, etc. ) and half for student level Autocad Inventor and solidworks stuff.
I plan on overclocking and might expand to a second monitor later on.
I'm already near my limit in terms of cost but I would like it to be fairly future-proof. Any impute would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
