Hey guys i have been racking my brain over what computer to buy/build, as i am not very computer savvy...but the i had a thought....TAKE IT TO THE FORUMS!!! I would like this:
A KICKASS gaming PC(NOTHING ELSE, AS I HAVE A MAC) for anywhere up to $2800 INCLUDING the monitor and keyboard and mouse(if this is too hard, dont worry. i would prefer a great PC than peripherals)
Must be parts from centrecom.com.au as i am australian, and trust this site.
Preferred parts : Intel core i-7 (920 and up, as i WANT A SOCKET 1366, FOR UPGRADABILITY)
ATI Radeon 5870 (if 2 can be squeezed in, which may be hard, please accomodate this when choosing PSU, CASE ETC)
I CAN NOT STRESS THAT THIS MUST BE A GREAT, KICKASS GAMING PC AND NOTHING MORE!!!! I DONT WANT TO KEEP SWITCHING PARTS ETC EVERY 6 MONTHS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I REAAAALLLY WANT UPGRADABILITY, AND I WANT IT TO LAST A WHILE.
I.AM.NOT.LOOKING.INTO.OVERCLOCKING. i understand that the i-7 cards auto overclock, which is fine.
obviously parts must be compatible, and yes, i am looking into CROSSFIRE OR SLI(WHICHEVER GPU I CHOOSE)
parts will not be bought for a while, most probably next JAN OR FEB, so if you want to suggest a part but know its superior is being released soon, go for it(however i dont want things like "they say that it may be coming out", i want concrete answers, unless there is a lot of evidence supporting the theory)
Finally, please dont post 1 component posts. i would really like whole builds to be posted...
Thanks guys, please try and respond as i would like to know ASAP..

Don't need a aftermarket cooler since you don't plan to overclock, stock should be fine, then.
