Sorry for being unclear, what I ment is that I have $2000 budget ( give or take 100 or so ) for my total system. I returned my cpu from cyberpower ( explained in one of the posts why, more little reasons then 1 big reason ) and therefore all I have now are the parts I got from newegg ( the 8800 gtx, Gskill ram, and G11 keyboard ). Which means I have $1300 left ( the newegg parts cost $700 ) to spend on my system for the mobo, case, cooling options, HD, Soundcard, PSU, etc...think thats enough money to have a high end system.
Decisions come July 22nd

i have 2x 160GB WD's in a raid 0 config, and i think its amazing...everything i install is fast, even loading up games adn stuff...oblivion/bf2142 runs like a dream, maps load extremely fast...and even my movies...i only have 1 regret that i bought 2x WD's instead of 2x Seagate 7200.10 since i heard they were better/faster

No, I meant if he hadn't bought anything and he was building he would be able to buy all that for around $1600.

ya i know but he still has 1300$ to spend.... but ur build is gonna so some serious damage..... but u really shouldn't have pushed $2000 for a system, i say $1400 is more than enough for a good system that lasts a while
Agreed. Especially the way technology is advancing in leaps and bounds. The system that cost $2000 today in 6 mths can be purchased for $1000.
