Need to build a new system and wanted my budget to be around $700. Lately have been thinking $1000 is maybe a better idea, so I specd out a system for $1000 or less. Let me know what you think, want to make sure there are no conflicts with components.
This system will be mainly for media center use, along with dual-booting Vista and Linux. Will be doing little gaming with this system, if any. I realize the 8600GT's performance in new demanding games like Crysis - and that performance is enough for me since I don't plan on playing any newer games.
