I would like to buy a gaming desktop. I have about $2500 to spend, a little more or less is ok. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Please recommned any major brands or not too popular brands that you trust. I will list what I want out of the computer below. Thanks for any recommnedations. Note: I will not build a PC as I prefer customer service and warranties that computer companies give that cover the computer and everything inside of it.
Features I want:
-most importantly , in addition to beign a great gaming computer, it has to run programs like photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, video editing software, perfectly
-Nvidia EVGA or BFG 285 GTX or 295 GTX (graphics card must have 2 DVI, and an hdmi port or at least HDMI adapter for video and sound, i think 285 and 295 has this, phys-X, and 3D support.) I do not know if ATI has physx or 3D if they do I would consider getting one of there cards.
-if I can afford it I will get SLI so a good power supply that can support one or 2 of these cards would help
-6 or 8 gigs of ddr3 ram
-quad core 2.4 ghz or higher, i am guessing i should get newer i7 quad core
-Cd/ dvd drive with cd/ dvd burner decent burning speeds
-minimal 7200 or preferably a 10000 RPM hard drive with at least 150 GB
-windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
- if it is a computer with all sorts of lights on the outside i want the ability to turn them off.
i found this alienware which seems close to what i want, any thoughts please see below, this came out to $2,448
