So what are your thoughts? The total with shipping (and sales tax, because I'm in New York and it blows) is $1229, and $1159 after mail-ins.


Any recommendations for what I should replace? What do you think of the motherboard?

[Flatulenzia]

Yeah, that was a mistake in the post, will fix.

 

[funkysnair]

what about your ram-why not get 1066mhz for a little bit more?

Upgraded the RAM, thanks for the suggestion. Now do I need to buy a separate sound card, or is that integrated into something?
