Wow, I feel like a complete idiot. Apparently that page was for a very similar named ISP in another state. I still get up to 100 megabit both ways though with phone for $80ish. Upload is sometimes capped at only 1 megabit but downloads stay consistently above 30 megabit.

At least they have never given us a reason to hate them. Very rare downtime and friendly, helpful customer service.

1 megabit. around $40.

Phone is a separate charge. The catch: you have to get phone to get internet and/or TV. No limits, caps, or restrictions. Currently paying for 15 down and 1 up but somehow getting 40 down.

This is the internet price list for my local ISP. Fiber connection to all customers even if you are only using the phone.

Products like this make me sad about where I live. Would buy one in a heartbeat but nowhere to use it.

I loved the fact that you can reply to messages without exiting an app.

My main concern was monitor choice and I like the Dell ones that acidydragon recommended. Prob shoulda mentioned that I plan to use them in 5760x1080 and also 3240x1920. Bezel needed to be thin but also uniform all around the screen. Thanks anyways for your help.

The screens? Both. The PSU? Want some wiggle room to be 100% safe when I add more drives. (better safe than sorry) The case? Yes cause I like its size, features, and looks. The dollars? USD

If anything, you helped me decide on the monitors. Thanks!

Wow. No complaints cept for RAM amount. Gonna bookmark this thread for later consideration.

No VESA mount

Didn't even know there were LGA1150 Xeons. Learn something new everyday.

I had a build in mind that I'd figure I'd post here and possibly get a little advice from those "in the know" and have experience with some of the choices. Please, if you are gonna recommend an alternate to a part, do explain yourself. Build will be primarily for gaming and internet browsing (prob a little overpowered but meh). Will have why I chose the part after each. Case: Silverstone SG09-B Tiny but can pack some serious hardware. Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Gene Supposedly the best LGA1150 mATX motherboard out there. CPU: Intel i5-4670K Haswell Don't really need the hyperthreading of the i7 for $100 more. CPU Cooler: Thermaltake WATER2.0 Pro liquid cooler Prob don't need it but it will look cool (no pun intended). RAM: 2 8GB sticks of whatever Don't bother with RAM arguments cause I need more than 8GB. GPU: 2 reference Nvidia GTX 780s in SLI I like dat stock cooler plus beast cards. PSU: Silverstone 850W or 1000W modular psu Has to be Silverstone so I can use the short cable kit. Boot Drive: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB Gotta have dat SSD speed. Data Drive: WD Black 2TB HDD I want that WD reliability. ODD: HA! Monitors: 3 22"-24" 1080p screens with a thin bezel and VESA mounts Main thing I need help with. Plz? I see no point in listing accessories. So, hit me with suggestions and ideas. Oh, I wanna keep the total cost under $3000.
