Okay, so I just sold 3 months ago my bad ass gaming rig. And got a IMAC 27" It works, but I am noticing the gaming issues with it and I want to get my rig again. I would like to have this system be quiet, stay cool, and look good. I like the Aluminum look of the newer cases I have seen. I had a HAF-X case last and it was huge, heavy, and didn't fit well with my desk. So looking for something built well, filters, and can fit a lot for the size. I want performance as well.
Like I have mentioned above, I have a 27" Apple Cinema display now. Only a year old, and I can either add a monitor to it, or sell it and get two 27" screens that match. This monitor is so sharp and responsive that it is nice. But if I can get something equal for the cost I can sell this used, and have two, that would work.
FPS gaming is what I do. I had a 680 GTX on my last system. Let me know what you guys think and what I can get.
Gaming primary FPS, Black Ops, BF3,. BF4, so on.
