I've been forming a progressive potenial gaming PC build. It's price has grown but i think it's about as High as I want to allow it, maybe $10-20 more leeway. Here's what it looks like right now. It will be running dual monitors an HDTV running at 1920x1080 and an LCD running at 1608x1050, though for gaming I'll switch off the secondary monitor so i only need to push out 1080p for gaming.
