Hi all, I've been gaming on my laptop for years and finally have a real job with a nice signing bonus. So i'm planning on building a high end custom rig with the goal being to deck out a basement with 3 screen projectors to avoid the bezels of a 3 screen monitor set up. I'm thinking of using the site cyberpower pc to build the rig, mainly for the 3 year warranty the site offers and to avoid the hassle of assembling myself.

For budget, id like to stay under 3 grand for the computer not counting projectors. Also, id like the parts I buy (i.e. motherboard, case, powersuply, etc) to be as versatile as possible to allow future upgrading.

Here's what I built with a price tag of $2700 quoted.

Also, I am a little confused about how this Intel Smart response tech works. Is it as good as a large solid state drive?

I wanted to check if I was making any errors before ordering, or if people would suggest changes that they think are better choices.

You can do much better building yourself. Is that a possibility?

The three projectors require a lot of space. You can purchase monitors with small bezels instead.

The prebuilt looks good. I would opt for a different case and get watercooling. I would also choose an 850-900 watt Corsair/XFX/Seasonic PSU
