Yes, I bought a new PC already, haha. Although this time I didn't go out and spend $1800 like I did on my last PC, I only spent $553 (even less when you take away the $170 I got for my 2900XT on eBay a few days ago).

Anyways, here are the specs, it's actually very similar to my previous rig except for the processor.

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
ATI Sapphire HD3870 512MB GDDR4
500GB SATA Hard Drive
4GB (2x 2GB) DDR2-800
DVD Burner, Masscool CPU cooler

I think it was a great deal for only $553 shipped. Once I overclock it, it will perform just as good in games as my previous rig.

haha! The thing that really prompted me to get a gaming computer back was reading about the upcoming release of the new style game play and modes for TF2, I've been waiting for Goldrush to come out since I bought the game.

lol nice. i've been waiting for this one game for so long, spore...

i wish they'd just release it already. now that would be a game to build a computer for.

anyways, didnt mean to threadjack, hope you have good luck with your new computer!

If you already purchase this computer then my advice is don't discuss payment because its only give you tension nothing else.

What are you talking about? I am not tensed about this at all, I said how much it cost because for the components, $550 is a steal IMO.
