Get an X1950XTX... It's better then the GF7950GX2 and it's cheaper.

Maybe you'll get slightly less FPS in some games but with the GX2 you can only run either AA or HDR, but you can't run them both like in the XTX.
 
Do you really need a 350$ digital camera?

Take a 250GB Hard Drive It's almost 2 times cheaper... Just buy 2 of them if you want a lot of capacity.

The memory isn't that good for the price either. You can easily get a better latancy for 300$ not 4-4-4-12. Like this for example- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231087

Actually it would be wiser to get DDR2 667MHz if you're not planning on doing an Overclock.

Actually, the 320GB is on the same level of $/GB as the 250GB. It's mainly after 320GB that things start getting expensive
 
320GB @ $100 = 3.2GB per dollar.
250GB @ $70 = 3.57GB per dollar.

So yes, the 250GB is still the highest value.
 
Well, that Samsung DVD player is no good.. I do not like those at all.
The Avermedia cards are mickey mousish. Try and get a Hauppage.
For the mobo grab the P5W DH Deluxe. That's the one getting all the overclocking attention
I agree about the VGA.

Everything else seems cool. Sony cams aren't bad. I like the Canon better myself, but that could very well just be personal preference.
 
Bump. Okay I think Im almost done. I still need to change the dvdburner and hd, links please? Need to make sure everythings right, im going to buy Today or tommorrow.
 
Huh? I need help to make sure I have everything I need and it will work right. Ive never made a computer before so I dont know.
