So...I'm getting the itch to build a new computer.

It's been about 3-4 years since my last build. Back when 2GB video cards were the largest you could get. Not even sure what out there right now. But I spent about $3,200 back then.

I am thinking in the $2,000-$3000 range.

Want to be able to run any game I throw at it.

I don't really know anything about water-cooling so fans would probably be best.

Need operating system.

Need wireless card.

I'm starting over so I don't have anything. Keyboard. Mouse. Monitor.

It would be really nice to have multiple monitors.

I am starting school again - my degree program is Theology and I will be buying Logos Bible Software. It takes a lot of power to run from what I've seen.

My tower does not have to be a flashy one. This really isn't a huge deal to me.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Also I know laptops cannot touch desktops when it comes to power for the price but just for laughs, would anyone recommend a high powered laptop over this?

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. It doesn't have to be purchased immediately if there is any big deal hardware that is soon to be released. Just want to get back into the game.

Which games do you like/intend to play? For monitors, do you want Primary + Seconday or do you want 3 or more to run a surround build?

That Bible software doesn't appear to have very high system requirements although it will eat up a lot of disk space.

From what I've seen the system requirements that the software states aren't very high, but my youth pastor has it and he has told me that it uses up a lot of processor and ram power.

I haven't played computer games in a couple years but when I was playing, games like crysis, battlefield 3 just came out, and a lot of the common RPGs.

I think I'd like to have 3 monitors, I'm willing to go over the budget but I was just using that as a base. Minimum 2 monitors though.

I think I'm going to splurge on the shine5 keyboard when it comes out.
