For reasons I've previously mentioned, I don't want to put together a desktop from Newegg this time. This is from Cyberpowerpc.com for $930 (including shipping). Cyberpower has great overall reviews from resellerratings.com (8 out of 10), so I think it's trustworthy. Also, I looked up a similar parts list on Newegg, and I'd only save $60 or so, so I'm pretty happy with this price. What do you all think? Any suggestions or advice?

Thank you!

CASE: Xion 791 Mid-Tower 420Watts Case with 8 Open Bays

CPU: (Sckt775)Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6750 CPU @ 2.66GHz 1333FSB 4MB L2 Cache 64-bit

MOTHERBOARD: (Quad-Core FSB1333) Asus P5N-E nForce 650i SLI Chipset LGA775 FSB1333 DDR2 Mainboard (I don't know much about motherboards. Is this good?)

MEMORY: (Req.DDR2 MainBoard)2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (Corsair Value Select or Major Brand)

VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB 16X PCI Express (EVGA Powered by NVIDIA) (It seems the 8600 GTS is as good as I can get from Nvidia without going up to the 8800. Is this true?)

HARD DRIVE: Single Hard Drive (320GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)

Optical Drive: 18X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER (BLACK COLOR)
