Additional Comments: I really only play less graphic intensive games such as SWTOR, WoW, (soon to be GW2 which will be more intensive), Skyrim, and occasional FPS like MW3. Never was interested in Battlefield so i just want to be able to play at high/max settings on these games with very good FPS. And preferably could this build be made somewhat futureproof so that this would just be upgraded in the future?
