Hello,
My son is big in to computers. He does a lot of crazy stuff.
He edits youtube videos on Sony vegas, does a thing where other people can watch him play games, he calls himself a "twitcher" (Kids these days, I called it chokin the chicken) He does a lot of graphic design on photoshop, he also attends conventions where they show off computers and acts like he is in a strip club. He has mentioned a 100 times over how he wish he could show off a "Computer that mated with Optimus Prime" (I think that is how he put it.)
I use to game a lot back in day, I have my PC I bought, It runs most games on high or Medium which I am perfectly fine with, I can see in a year or two Ill be running it on low, But i prefer gameplay over shiny stuff. (I played Ultima and everquest back in the day, back when EQ had a subscription)
I always hear him saying "This is taking forever to render" or "wtf why do I even do this"
I asked him what he would need to do things comfortably, he said he it was a 3500 hundred dollar question and wasn't going to bother
In any case, He is about to graduate collage (most kids want a car, but he has a nice car thanks to his mother divorcing me) So I want to reward him with a nice computer that he can use to push his limits in his video editing, photoshop and his gaming.
Im not totally computer illiterate, I can put it together, I just cant do the Bios, I have a friend that can do that.
So the limit is 4000, I know and understand that I do not need to spend that much, I am basing this off http://www.logicalincrements.com/#importantInfoToggle
His monitor is old, its one of those old DELL Monitors that comes with said PC
His mouse and keyboard is Stock with his current PC.
So I want to get him new peripherals as well, with this 4000.
Now, On that link, at the bottom is the Monstrous build.
These are my concerns and wants.
--Will he beable to play the next years games on ultra while doing his twitcher thing
Within the next year games coming out, will he have to do minimal upgrades to keep up on top of the line gear
--Will he beable to run 2 or 3 monitor?
--Will there be an over heating problem?
Any left over money I will give to him as part of the gift. Now if the computer must go over 4 grand I would consider it.
Thank you again, I was referred to this site by a coworker that told me you guys Know it all when it comes to PC, he also referred me to that link I posted above.

Either of those would be great, i'd definitely go with the 6 core intel.
