I have around $3000 to spend. I was wondering if I could do any better. I want 4K and the biggest monitor I can get. I want to download several TB's worth of data and keep it. I want a few hundred games. Free and paid games both. I like the monitor and my case that I've picked out. I want the 750 watt psu for sli in the future.
