Final Total=$1408 w/o shipping


this is all you need. and it isnt hard to build. you save half, and get the best upgradeability options. its sub 1500 shipped and you can put an e6600 in there. you get everything you need, you can upgrade to vista, quad core, sli, 4GB, you name it when the time comes. and upgrading a PC you build is night vs. day towards upgrading a prebuilt

Hey, I run the X1300PRO, I have no probs with it but, there is no sense in downgrading from a 1900 to a 1300. Get an Nvidia, they actually did their homework and prepared for Vista. I wouldn't invest in a 7--- series video card but I would go with the new 8600 or whatever Nvidia is cooking up as a budget directx 10 card. About RAM, 2Gb is great, 4Gb if you want it go ahead, but you need to invest in a E6600 or a E6700. DON'T BUY FROM A COMPANY, BUILD IT. It helps the computer component marketing. You do not need 4Gb on a C2D E6600 or E6700 that don't need that much to "bank" on.

Hope this is helpful
