How much is all this? It looks like a lot of money, and building it yourself will save you a lot of money. If you cannot, I would change a few things:

Get the X4 955 and overclock it. It will do very well for a lower price. Why would you get two 6950s at only 1366x768? That is a waste of money. Lose one card and get a 1080p monitor or keep the current one and get a weaker card. At a budget of $1800, you should get an Intel CPU. Also, consider http://www.digitalstormonline.com/ From what I've read about experiences with prebuilt gaming PCs, DS was the best.

i actually have a 1920 by 1080 at my house the other monitor is for one that broke down. i actually added the prices it is about $1680. i was in a rush so sorry for some incorrect info. i was going to get the x6 for some future proof but i might check the x4 right now.

I edited my post a bit. At your budget, you should get an i5 2500k. I'll see if I can get a build for you that will perform very well.


thanks very much for the help i really appreciate this.

i saw the pc and edited some things like sound and accesories. The thing im thinking is that is should get 2 graphics cards since i don't plan to upgrade my cards in about 4 years. it may make it about $1500 but i should easily be able to upgrade later for about $230. i hope to get 60fps with max setting on games like rage or skyrim.

If you have the money and if you want something that will last for a few years, then sure, go ahead. With 2x GTX 560 Ti, you should be able to max any game including the ones you mentioned with +60FPS (probably not in Metro 2033 or games as demanding as that).
