I was going to build this, almost exact same, system myself but realized that I would not finish with the build quick enough so I'm having it built and shipped to my house. Tell me what you think of it.

Seriously, I run at the same resolution and the memory on the 320MB 8800GTS is far to little. Spend a little more and get the 640MB one now, because I have to upgrade now so my graphics card isn't bottlenecking.

But I have nearly the same specs as that and it can run any game on max, easy at a lower resolution

Anyone else? I'm fairly certain that I am ordering this tomorrow. Any last minute advice/changes that I should take into consideration?

Unless your combining those 2 power supplies together, ide get a stronger PSU then 550... Ide say 700-800 would be acceptable.

15 more years! 15 more years!

I'm not going SLI. I think that 550 W should be good. I might go to 600.

By 'checking them out', do you mean that their customer service is unreliable? Or do you mean that they are subpar.

this is off topic, but what with people getting all these new computers lately? if these threads were all true, it seems like half the people on this sight would be getting new ones by now...

I just graduated High School and got a job for the summer so I suddenly have about $2500 extra cash laying around to spend before college.

And new games coming out this Q3-Q4 also contributes to the fact that many people are getting new rigs.

BTW Love your sig

Bin that case. Buy from Newegg. Get a better GFX.

Simple enough.

Get a more powerful PSU. Seriously.

Why are you buying from iBuy when Newegg is in town?

I need a complete Pc to arrive at my house. I do not have enough time to build it myself.

Get yourself a decent sound card and disable the on board sound. Will take the load of your RAM and processor.

Apart from that, it will be a sweet machine.
