I wish I could blow that much on a gaming rig. Well, just one suggestion. Get a PhysX chipset. Mind u, its NOT A GRAPHICS CARD. Its called a PPU or Physics Processing Unit. I guess it ships for $300. Its supposed to give a realistic feel to how particles and physical objects behave in a game e.g. bullet effects on a wall, a bomb going off etc. Latest games like Ghost Recon use the PhysX chipset without which I guess u wont be able to play it. Try googling for it. U'll get better info than what I gave.
