32 GBs of RAM, 4 hard drives, and two top end video cards?

You must be new to computers. Enjoy, anyway!

Yeah, but 8, 2 and 1 would have been a kick ass machine at half the price.

I know that very well.. but with the discount i got! i just couldnt say no I know very well that 8, 2 & 1 is way more than enough actually.. all these extras didn't cost more than $1000 all together.

Did you buy new monitors? If not, you probably could have taken the money saved from different GPUs and gotten 2 or 3 kick-ass IPS monitors. That's what I would have done, at least.

I already have 1 BENQ X2420T. Just bought another one.

Ah ok. I wouldn't have recommended that one since I've heard the color accuracy is terrible and the viewing angles are pretty bad too.
BENQ is one of those "meh" brands.

I would have gone with either of these instead:

Maybe next upgrade.

What you have heard is wrong, it is one of the best monitors i have ever had. It works just perfectly.

Ah really? I've heard it's quite a good monitor! We are talking about the XL2420T, right? Normally, I would agree with you, I would never touch a BenQ product! It's hard to argue with reviews, maybe a cult following for this monitor? Haha. I just wish you could see the monitor at a B&M store, rather than rely on reviews online. A monitor is like a TV or keyboard or mouse, you want to try it out and get a feel for it before you buy it!
