its going to cost around 4,000 CDN

I want it for playing poker and running large PT databases, running my 30 and 20 inch screens maybe playing a vid game here and there but I dont really game much, watching some movies and playing music while I play also.

Am I missing anything? I also want it to last as long as possible but I know that's hard to predict with this kind of thing.

Is there maybe something I should add or something different I should look into? Im pretty incompetent at this type of thing in general

thanks everyone!
