That looks awesome! I think I'm getting closer to making a decision =]

Just out of curiosity, where else can the price be lowered?

Also, would any of these suffice for a graphics card instead of the SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 100315L Video Card with Eyefinity?

The mb/cpu rebate/combo makes $95 for that board a good deal.

The ram could be $20 less.

Might save 8-10 on the HDD.

PS = no skimping. If you find a quality unit on sale or something, just consider it a bonus.

When looking at the big picture, I personally wouldn't move down to save the $25-30.

I don't know for sure on VC. I'd get more than the minimum tho. Also may depend on exactly what your going to be doing with those programs. This vc may do it for you.

Yeah, $25 isn't worth it if it's a big downgrade, and same with the VC, might as well save a little bit longer to get more than minimum
