OK, I can't help but ask this question, mostly because I can't get this build off my mind. In the past I've always had two separate systems, my personal pc geared more toward gaming and my work pc, cad. Mostly because I never used to work from home but my situation has changed and I need to build a multi-purpose rig that I can comfortably work from and still play gpu intense games. I need to run two monitors, both 27” one @ 2560 x 1600 and a 3d @ 1920 x 1080
I would really like to hear what everyone thinks of this build. It's right out of Tom's Gift Guide for System Builders (High-End).
