System configurator, i7-2600 not an option???

my money is in and all other debts are paid off, so I went looking at either taking the Ultima Tyrannosaur, or just max specing a system through the system configurator, but the 2600 isn't presented as an option for some reason, only the 980 :confused:

I thought it would be best to just get mostly the best specs that I can, not sure about SLI because of microstuttering but I'll be gaming at 1080p, not interested in 3D, so thought an i7 2600k overclocked with ridiculious amounts of ram, a SSD for boot/2-3 games and a 1-2TB hdd would be good, with most likely a 580. I was going to get a single 590 ( I know its dual GPU) but at least based on recommendations of a couple of guys they said it's still SLI and is going to have microstuttering problems, and they said a 580 would prob do me fine if im not interested in going above 1080p or using 3D.

What! That didn't work for me last time I tried.... Shenanigans!!!!!

Ah, I had picked the 10300i option thinking that would be the best. It has the option for 24 gig of ram though :O

ill prob go for the ultima one and ask them to change the SSD to a crucial drive then,

Budget isnt a concern. Any type of 3d monitor/glasses etc I have absolutley no interest in. I'll prob get a 37" LED 1080p screen and that will do nicely.

Oh right sorry. Nah Ive tried the multi monitor thing before. The gap between the monitors distracts me. Im more than happy with a single 37" screen running at 1080p
