If you click on the PCPart picker link the end price will be $1032 but I know some deals that brought everything down (stores are not accurate). So, what do you all think? I wanted to go with one that can play on ultraish settings with one 1080p monitor. The only other thing I will be doing with it is some engineering simulations (no need for CUDA though).
