this is what i got when i searched for the 7600GT.. but i dunno which one to pick: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010380048&Submit=ENE&Subcategory=48&Description=7600GT&Ntk=all (i'm thinking the evga cuz its cheapest after the rebate, XFX having the 2nd cheapest) OK if i get...

hey.. i posted new comp specs quite some time ago for my first build but things got busy in life so i didnt have time. now i am going to make a 2nd attempt at my first build. i'm looking to spend between 800 and 900 dollars. i'm a little confused what CD rom drive i should get.. i'd like to...

I live in California, an area that Newegg taxes, so I got a $70 tax. Sucks. Maybe I should consider buying somewhere else. The shipping was over $40.. so thats $110..

Hey did it cost you 800 with shipping and tax included? Cuz I was hoping to get in the $800s or low 900s, but I totaled it yesterday and tax+shipping was killer :( Did you get a case and PSU?

1. I'm thinking of buying this PSU.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103930 Its 480W, vs the original 550W I was going to buy. I could save money by getting the 480W. Do you think 550W is overkill for this system or should I still with it? 2. I have to choose between...

so woodman.. which of these 2 are u going with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119075 OR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119074 or is it neither of these.. I do notice some slight differences between these 2 though (not just the color)

link? cost?

thats 15 bucks more than i planned on :( I was gonna go with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129144

I'm getting a similar system.. same cpu, same ram, same optical drive, slightly smaller HD. Except I was planning on the 6800GS and MSI mobo.. Not as good a card as you have but MSI is apparently pretty good. It's actually cheaper than the combo because the board's not SLI and the card is...

did u get a free mobo/vid card deal? if so can you link me to this? Thanks

hmm.. well i probably won't buy this stuff until a few days after xmas.. so tell me how it goes when you have it up :)

I considered that case, but I have been warned that Thermaltake can be pretty noisy... I'm not sure, but I want a QUIET and COOL TEMP case. Any suggestions?

I was aiming for around $800-900. But with tax and shipping this is gonna suck :( I'm pretty sure everything is compatible :) Any suggestions... I'm not an OCer.. Any ways to make it quieter, cheaper, etc.? Will cooling be an issue? I would rather save than spend more though. Total = $933...

What are some cool temp + quiet.. (not necessarily small) cases?

this topic helped me :) maybe i will get the msi k8n neo4-f instead of the DFI lan party UT nF4. I'm not an OC'er. I kinda already worked out all the other shit I'm gonna buy though.. so compatibility reasons.. will this change anything? btw.. what is the difference between PCI-e x4 and PCI-e...
