Help me make a custom desktop

I have a budget of $1500-$2500.
Preferably made from NCIX, or Tiger Direct.
Gaming purposes; run the hardest game to run on pc on max quality.
thanks in advance!

[quote=Zulucker]Sorry to borrow your thread TS, but I also have the same question as you.[/quote]

Start your own thread. Copy and paste your reply to my questions as the opening post.

I don't like tracking multiple builds from different people in the same thread.

[quote=Burning]Answer as many questions as you are willing.

What country/state do you live in?
Do you already have a monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse? If you have a monitor, what is its screen resolution?
Do you need an operating system such as Windows 7 or Windows 8?
How much hard drive space do you want?

What games do you play or want to play? (you must name game titles)
What other programs do you use?
Are you interesting in overclocking the processor, the video card, or both?
Do you have any preferences or restrictions for a computer case?

Mention any other special requests you may have. Be detailed.[/quote]

Canada.
I have all 3, it's a square monitor but i'll be getting a 2400X1600 TV/Monitor soon.
Nope, I have a windows 7 disc.
At least 500GB

League of Legends, Tera, Steam games.
I'll be keeping my old desktop to use my other programs on, and have a gaming PC solely for gaming.
Hopefully not having to overclock them if i can help it.
I want it to have an SD slot card, and a lot of USB ports, and a VGA plug (or not because i'll be getting a TV/Monitor)
