Ok, so I'm in the market for a new PC and would like to build one for the first time. I would like the pc to be as cheap as possible, but don't mind spending somewhere in the 2,000 - 2,500 dollar range. I want this computer to be able to play games as smoothly as possible, whether they be MMO's or FPS or whatever it is I feel like playing at the time. The only preference I have at the moment is that the GPU be able to work with eyefinity, as I plan to have somewhere around 5-6 monitor's. Also, if anyone has and good recommendations for a monitor with great picture quality and a small bezzil, then that would be great too. Thanx for the help in advance.

Are you going to be building it? And do you need an OS? Windows 7/8?

And is the 2500 including a monitor?

Sorry about that. Realized today while on the road I forgot to mention that stuff. No, the monitors are not included in the final value, just the tower itself. I just wanted to know if anyone had any good ideas about small bezzil monitors with good resolution. And yes, I live in the U.S. As far as and OS goes, I hear good things about Windows 7 and 8 but also bad things. Whichever you reccomend really. Thanks for the replies thus far.

I'll let you read up on which OS you wan't, Windows 8 has faster performance in games, it's faster to boot up and it's just generally quicker, however, the OS is a lot different, and lots of people hate it.

Are you building it? Or do you want it pre-built?

And for monitors, it is best you start a new thread as I am not an expert. But here are some options.
