Two Decent Systems

[ddbtkd456]

I need two full tower systems both with windows in the cases (I have really tall computer desks), and the cleaner the look the better. I was originally thinking the NZXT Switch 810 (my fiances) and the Corsair 760T/750D (mine). She would like a purple setup, so the nzxt hue is in place for that, maybe white or orange inside, will leave that up to you (I will be buying individually braided sleeves for the power supplies, so make sure they have them available for the power supply as well). Mine will be the same thing only red. Now I need at least 4 TB of storage and a SSD, she doesn't need more then 1 TB and a SSD. 

 

My fiance's build will be for gaming, and light programs (ex. iTunes, Surfing Web), no overclocking, nothing else, except maybe some schooling down the road (nothing graphically inclined). She'll be playing games like Sims 3/4, Skyrim, Runescape, or Roller-coaster Tycoon.

 

Mine needs to be a little more built as I plan on playing GTA, NFS, Watchdogs, Thief, Batman (all 3 games), and a couple of others. The only difference is mine will have to double as a media center for my xbox, and video/music encoding. So 16GB of ram is a must.

 

My budget is 2,000 (USD) each computer

 

I need a windows 8.1 operating system (full disc), I hate OEM, but only for my fiances build (I have Windows 7 Ultimate already bought). My setup needs 2 monitors, no widescreen...maybe like a 1920 x 1200 on a 24" screen. She only needs one but I would rather it not be a widescreen.

 

My case needs to have 2 optical bays, and hers needs to have 3.

 

Let me know what you can do...my future is in your hands.

Do you need keys/mouse/adapters as well or just monitors/OS?

Use BBCode for forums, not markup.

 

Her build, looks good, but it doesn't need 760W.

 

I can't really place my finger on what to change for either of them, to be honest.

[ddbtkd456]

Yea, its just kinda an oversight, I can't buy the individually sleeved cables for power supplies from corsair less then 750 watts, and with the white cabling, gold plating and purple led's I think it will look good. And I know as far as the mark up goes, for some reason it quoted you, and it got all screwed up, I have no idea what happened.
