Will evrything work? Im pretty sure it all will.

But I dont know if this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16837102062#DetailSpecs
Is the actual windows pro or just an upgrade.

Thanks!
 
Nice setup, and everything should work fine. The OEM Pro version you picked out will install and activte, but you wont have Microsoft Support (who needs that anyways:P )
 
if its gonna be a gaming computer, you might want to step your video card up a bit, looks like money isn't a big issue with what you've picked out. And your mobo link doesn't work anymore so you may need to find it elsewhere or pick out another one. Maybe get a little bigger hard drive, 80 seems small to me, but then again I have like 500 so a matter of relativity I guess. But its hard to say if everything will work without the mobo link.
 
ok everything should work with the mobo. And yeah, if you can spend the money for a 7800 or x1800 series card, it's a good idea, I'd go for the 7800 if you're gonna game.
 
Thanks for all the quick replys.

Last question: Do you think the prices will go down on all of these things starting tommorow or Jan 1st? Like year end sales and new year sales?
 
Since I'm not in the mood for clicking on those links and adding the prices together, what's the net budget? :)
