I just put this rig together from Ibuypower and its gonna run me 1871.00 I know I should build it but my dads putting up half the money and I cant convince him to let me build it. So I chose ibuypower to build it for me since I found them the most reasonbly priced company for what I want. I was just wondering if all these parts are compatable and that they are not totally ripping me off. I also have the option to get a quad core 2.4 ghz for the same price as the duel core 3.0 just wondering which is better.

In addition, could anyone recommend a nice 24 inch lcd monitor I found one at dell for 600 but any that are as good and cheaper would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys could give me.

I think going with the quad core would be better as more games "hi-tech" games are released.

Seems good, but if i were you i would get a better power supply since the ones that comes in the cases are piece of junk

He is getting a 750 watt power supply. read it over. I would get a quad core processor and a EVGA board

Yeah, you should buy a power supply. I dont know if that one could even supply enough power for a 8800gts

Edit: nevermind i see the 750w supply
