From what I could see IBUYpower didn't offer a 64-bit option? and the redWARNINGwas by design. Good catch on the IDE optical drive, and this is why I say.....its not so easy to build a system. It would be like me saying...go ahead and build a house its easy. Special thanks to member gt7sanremo and bkolk for catching my HUGE mistakes. I did an edit or 20 to mirror philbar71's better build. I was mainly going for total price and seeing what it takes to copy and paste all that information only to embarrass myself. I noticed I didn't have a hard drive, now there is one. same as philbar's. The reason I suggested one gpu was when I built my system I paid $400 for 8800gts x2 a year later they're selling for half that. I only have one optical drive myself so I took the second one off. These are the reasons that turned me on to this tech-forum over the others is you guys are on the ball IMO.
