Here's my best for $1000: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And you mentioned BF3 maxed at 30 FPS? You'll get above 60 FPS, which is probably the limit of the refresh rate of your monitor. It's also over-budget, but you get those two free games which are actually good. If you tell me it's an issue, I can lower the price and try not to sacrifice too much performance.

Thanks but what's the need for the SSD and the HDD? And I was hoping for a cooler looking case. But I don't want to ask for much you've helped a lot.

No, it's your money and you should make sure you're getting what you want. Unfortunately, I can't read minds and know what kind of case you like. A lot of people like the looks of the Tempest and it's a quality case, but of course not everyone's going to like the style. What are you looking for? A side window? Lights? Clean lines? Colors?

And the SSD is included because installing Windows and applications to it will give you a gigantic performance boost in day-to-day tasks. The mechanical hard drive can be used for media and games which really don't need to be on the SSD. By having both, you get the benefits of the speed of an SSD and the size of a hard drive.

Smart and sorry for the wait I had to take a shower, but Side window, lights, and something like looks crazy, or out of the ordinary. I want people to see it and say " wow, that's awesome!"
