Just don't forget to factor in the cost of a PSU and Optical drive.

 

[matt3118]

I've been fooled!!!
Looks great though. I don't know if I would pay that much for a computer, but it will definitely last through quite a few new games to come. If you got the money, then go for it!

Came here expecting to convince you to buy a computer worse than mine...yet even your LCD screen beat mine by an inch...

for that processor you should have a better graphics card, if you really want a next gen computer get a 8800GTX. And the monitor has a bad response time (16ms)

You need a PSU and optical drive as well

That is 16ms for bwb which is good.
I agree about the GPU.
Cut the X6800 down and get a 8800gtx

But But... its only $260, I dont know why but it would feel real wrong to spend $500-800 for a video card. As for the monitor I think i'll shop around a bit more.

If you can't afford 8800GTX, then get 8800GTS

The 7900GTO is out of stock
So, if you can't get 8800GTS then get 7950GT

thanks for the steller chocies, I think 470 is a bit to much for me

I would say that $1000 for the X6800 is too much

Cut down to an E6600, and get the better graphics card.
