I was looking at this barebone kit and it seems very nice. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3799765&CatId=2405

I have questions about these barebone kits. Are all the parts listed already put together and sent to me? Or do all the parts listed come in their own respective retail packaging and I assemble it together at my home? Do I receive all the manuals, screws, cables, etc with the kit? Are barebone kits basically combo deals?

Why do you think its overpriced? I tried to search for parts that are similar to the ones in the bundle (although its not listed, a 700 Watt PSU is included) and I got a price close to it. The only reason I'm considering this bundle is because it has SLI capabilities and I don't have to worry that the parts I've chosen wont work (I'm inexperienced if you haven't noticed).

Dude I am looking at the same kit. I have tried my own build but the kit is cheaper, plus you know it will work together. I will probably get this one. It's 60 bucks more and has a 2.66ghz quad core. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3756391&CatId=2431

In my personal opinion I think the other one is a better choice. The one you listed has a very small difference for $60. Everything is the same except that the quad core is a q6700 and you get a 800 Watt PSU instead of the 700watt PSU (they don't list it because it comes with the case, but its there none the less). I don't think its worth $60 to get .26GHz more and 100 Watt more power. I've heard people have overclocked their Q6600 up to 3.6GHz! This argument makes me dislike the one you listed. (plus it would suck if you didnt get your rebate like you were supposed to ;))

That build I believe is much better. Change out that card for the XXX edition by XFX. It is much better than that one. Trust me

Now that I've gotten a second opinion between the two, I guess I'll go with the one I thought of. :)
If I was gonna upgrade my video card, I would change it to this XFX 8800GT
