Never dealt with Buyxg.com, but Newegg is having a huge Free Shipping promo on a lot of it's items. You may want to do a bit of comparison shopping. The saved shipping costs will probably outweigh the 5%

Well its too late to cancel the trasnaction but i am planning on upgrading to 2-3g of ram and a new video card down the road so ebay and newegg are on the top of my list for that.

Gotcha. If you ever need a hand looking for great deals or anything, the folks on here are pretty up-to-speed with all the major on-line retailers, so don't hesitate to ask!

I am sure i will be back with more questions once i figure out what kind of ram my new pc has. One question though where is a good site to get a nvidia 8500 512mb video card for a good price?

You will need a better graphics card, the 8500GT is mainly a streaming card if you want to game you will need a 8800 series card, preferably the 8800GT.
