I am looking for a solid gaming machine for under $1,000. I do not want SLI or Crossfire. I am more than happy to spend more next summer or fall to upgrade. The game I am building for is Warhammer, but I will probably play some more demanding games as well. I welcome any and all advice!
All parts numbers etc are from Newegg.
