Yes, this will play those games on max settings.

 

[PP Mguire]

It will, but way to much to do that stuff.

If you're willing to spend that much on a computer I would consider building your own.
Not only will you get more bang for your buck, but it will be better optimized to do what you want.

Obviously not everyone has the desire to do so, but if its a matter of intimidation its not as hard as you may think.

What would you suggest instead? I'm looking to play the same games (in addition to WoW, SC2 and Diablo 3) maxed settings but want to stay as affordable as possible.

I could max those on my current setup quite easily. There's no need to drop $1.7K+ on it to do it.

Swap my 580 for a 560ti and it would play any game out there today for pretty cheap.

Considering your budget is ~$1K less I would suggest not trying to hijack someone else's post, the builds are going to be totally different.

I had already posted a suggested build in your thread that fit your budget and needs, guessing you never saw it.

Thanks for all the help only problem is is it easy to ship parts to apo in Germany?

 

[Roark]

No more difficult than shipping a whole computer.
Probably better off buying parts in Europe and building than shipping a whole build from the states anyway.

I haven't shopped Germany yet so I'm not sure who the preferred on-line or brick and mortar retailers are, but perhaps one of the members across the pond will know.
