lazer... regarding the fx-53... what do you mean to say "there isn't any need for the fx-53 64 bit cpu"?
nubius, if you think i can save money on things and still get blistering performance, then by all means push me in that direction. you have to remember, i'm use to the prices of apple.

Yeah lol I told you I wasn't crazy, beyond that I was asking who you were going to have build this for you in the first place. That was why I thought it pointless to tell you what to buy and then not have anyone lined up to build it for you. See where I was going with that? It doesn't help telling you all the parts you need if you don't have anyone there to help you put it together and that knows what they are doing, ya see why I went off on the fact you said 'I dont care to learn and I'm not putting it together' didn't I say
and
=/
See where I'm comin from? I'm not a **** by all means, but come on, where you planning on buying the things we suggested and THEN finding someone to put it together or what? That's why I wasn't eager to help in the first place cause it seemed like you didn't have anyone nearby that could put it together for you or get opinions/answers from
Yeah I'll put it together but you might come up with some missing parts muahahahahaha

wow good lord the replies are rolling in quick here. First off start by getting the 1gb kit instead of the 2gb kit. That alone will save you more money than decrease performance if you look it at like cost/performance kind of ratio. The reason lazerman says the FX-53 isn't needed is because there isn't an operating system or many programs out right now that take full advantage of the 64bit processing capabilities, but you know you'll be set for atleast 2 years with this computer. Especially if you do design work and whatnot, they'll start making those programs 64bit. You can save money simply by going to zipzoomfly.com where I linked you to the FX-53 .....get to the Athlon 64 section and click DESCENDING, you'll see FX-53 at the top cause it's the priciest. Go down until you find a cheaper price but make sure you look for socket 939 specifically.

good god man. Those cases are expensive as hell and doesn't come with a power supply. Something to think about there. You need a decent case because with the power you're running you'll want optimum cooling. Look around for cases for look preferences etc...but also price. With a 1gb kit you have $320 remaining and still possibly need cd-rom type stuff, but you'd have like $450 if you took away the case I suggested. So if you take out the case and get a 1gb kit instead you should have $450 remaining on whatever else you need.
Lazerman seems to know his cases so I'm leaving it to him.
