ultra

The Corsair M65 in Military Green is probably your best bet for a mouse. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826816011

   Thank is one heck of a sweet looking case, thanks for your input! I decided to go with the Corsair C70 for the durability and I dig the military theme.

@lee32uk I do, I'm not positive what the resolution is off the top of of my head, all I can remember is that it's a 27 in ASUS that I bought two years ago. I do plan on getting a second monitor though, do you have any suggestions? And thanks everyone for your input! I'm new to this forum, but I think I just found a new home. :] Here is what I've come up with after doing some more research and reading over each of your posts: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JWxsvK

I made some changes to my build with the input from the users here (Thanks everyone!) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RtTnNG I changed the SSD to 500GB from 250GB for convenience sake as well as dropping down the motherboard to the G7 with the inclusion of updated CPU cooler. I decided to keep the water cooling simply for the fact that it will be quieter than air cooling and just in case I ever decide to do some serious overclocking. The only thing I'm still on the fence about is the single GTX 980 vs SLI 970, as well as possibly the case, but that should be an easy decision.

Megazero, Thanks for your input, I'll do some research on the dual 970s vs a single 980, but that does seem like a good idea. How is the SLI setup for older games or less graphic intensive games such as League of Legends, CS:GO, WoW, etc?

Would I be losing any performance by down grading to the MSI gaming 9? The thing that intrigued me about the Gigabyte G1 Black edition was the extreme testing it goes through, so hopefully it works right out of the package.The ultra durable nature was also a selling point for me. Does anyone have any experience with the G1 Black edition?

I'm coming back from back from a military deployment and have been heavily researching building my own rig the entire time. Price isn't too much of a concern for me, around $2500 USD seems like a reasonable amount. I'm really looking for something that will be able to play everything on ultra settings for a long time without having to upgrade too much as well as being durable enough for some traveling. Here is what I put together yesterday and am looking for some advice. I think I went a little overkill on the motherboard and CPU, but I figured a few extra bucks right now might pay off in the future. I'm also not too sure on what case, if anyone could recommend a solid one that would be easy to put together for a first time builder. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BK2VLk
