I would definately replace the power supply though... 250 watts...

5970 with Nvidia's Physx I can only imagine one word: SICK... It would be nice to see someone with 2 5970s. Talk about computer world domination...

Sir your links arent working. Look at how you typed them in. On that note, is Left 4 Dead the only time it crashes after 30 minutes? Have you tried other games or even leaving the computer on for more than 30 minutes to see if it crashes? Something might not be hooked up right.

That will work

Cant wait to get this bad boy built. Now here's a question, when it comes to RAM, what is the most important thing to look for (other than my motherboard is triple channel). I thought about getting this from newegg... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231225 - 149.99...

I was thinking of getting a 5850 for my next build but something told me to go for a 5970 so im saving up for that... Maybe with the extra 2 towers that i have i could get a 5850 later on.

Hopefully you can get a better version of win 7...

What you have put together will work fine. As i dont see any problems. I will admit i have little knowledge about mushkin memory but i think someone else will have their opinion but good choice for your budget.

You can always give your own review and contribute to the rest of the party. G Skill is pretty good when it comes to memory. I wouldnt sleep on Strangehold's idea. Least your parents will be happy with whatever you give them.

The ebay idea is not a bad idea but becareful though especially with used CPUs because if any of those pins are bent, i know you wont be happy. If you can afford option 3 about from newegg, go for it. We all like to dream. I have a goal of getting my computer built with the latest everything.
