yeah right, im gettin it from my parents, went over to his condo the other day and he said dont go in the closet... wonder whats in there lol

Looks good, except i'd go with this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931

And the G.Skill value stuff is ok, but i'd go with the ValueSelect.

 

[Lidberg]

I would also switch to the Antec Truepower.

Expensive.The NEC3550 [$40] is better all around

You can get the superior Maxtor Maxline III 250GB [16MB, $105]

1 Antec NeoHE 430 ATX12V 430W Power Supply - Retail
Item #: N82E16817103939 $85.75

The XClio 450W [12V@32A, $50] is prolly a better value

1 ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
Item #: N82E16813131540 $163.00

Far better boards exist both in the NF4Ultra, NF4SLI and NF4 SLI X16 families.

if u wanna add on get a 10,000rpm harddrive for running stuff

Even though that raptor drive isnt gonna give noticeable realworld performance deltas...

And the G.Skill value stuff is ok, but i'd go with the ValueSelect.

Any reason? Budget memory is budget memory for the most part.

I would also switch to the Antec Truepower.

Why? Its an older (and obselete) series....

i think it was out of stock the time he ordered it
EDIT: i wonder why he got two of those?

wouldnt belive me

The XClio 450W [12V@32A, $50] is prolly a better value

hmm

i dont need 2 , hes prolly gonna put one in his comp

 

[kchi55]

i don't think newegg allows returns only RMAs and DOAs

 

[Thechefxxxv]

lol. Nice rig. It will be able to play any game available for the next (about) 2 years, as long as you don't use 8X AA.

I was talking to Praetor. He said "expensive" when on there own, they're cheaper then the NEC, regardless of which is better.
