Hey guys, so heres my wanted build:

EDIT: PLEASE DROP THE GRAPHICS DESIGN, THIS PC IS PURELY FOR GAMING SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING

Approximate Purchase Date: :This month

Budget Range: 2500$

System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Folding@Home, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies): My main use is GAMING.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, Need 2 monitors.(2x ASUS VG248QE)

Do you need to buy OS: No


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing): Im gunna be ordering it from the US to a friend then having it shipped all the way to dubai! so newegg is preferred but any good US website is welcome

Location: Gunna order them to a friend in US and have them shipped to dubai

Parts Preferences: Personally I prefer intel due to my good experience with them, but both suggested builds are welcome. It all comes down to how good each build can perform regardless of the brand

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Depends on suggested build. I want a build that can perform really well for the next 5 years or so if possible. If thats the only way to achieve this then yes I will SLI/Crossfire. Keep in mind this build is for a friend who has NO IDEA about PC's. I will be assembling this build for him

Your Monitor Resolution: I prefer getting 2x ASUS VG248QE (yes colors dont matter much).

Additional Comments: Nothing other than I need a beast that wont disappoint my friend for the amount of money hes paying.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:Its for a friend who asked me to build one for him!

Thank you,
Your answers are well appreciated.
