Where are you buying that from?? $2560 is alot for that setup.

First, I wouldnt get an X2, I would get a Core 2 Duo. And buy your parts from Newegg.

I'm getting it from www.vigorgaming.com Also, I'm not building it they are building it for me. I'm not too good when it comes to actual piecing together. Any cheaper websites you could point me to though would help a lot.

www.newegg.com

It's a lot cheaper, also, I agree with OMEGA about getting in Intel Core 2 Duo, they are the better dual core CPU's at the moment.
