i'd say build a solid midrange computer, you know, Athlon 64 3200, 7800GT or 6800GS, a SLI-DR, 2GB of OCZ RAM. Build something that would be low maintenance. SLI, liquid cooling, all of that is high maintenance. the complete system would probably run you abotu $1200. as with the rest of the money, Get an X-Fi, and an absolutly rediculous set of surround speakers, Z-5500 Digital MINIMUM.
