I can tell you right away you are getting ripped BAD on that CPU.

 

[JoeStoll]

I really just want to know if that setup is good and/or if you think something is wrong in it.

Also if you could find a better price at a different website, because that same setup is no cheaper than 1800 without shipping at any other website i've been too.

 

[Snake-Eyes]

If you wanted to try something new, you could try ordering the parts all separately and building the computer yourself. You'll save a few hundred bucks.

As far as i can tell, the setup is fine. No compatability issues.

One thing i'd suggest is taking the hard drive(s) down from 10K RPM to 7200 RPM. 10K RPM is, in my opinion, unnecessary, depending on what you are using the computer for.

So, what are you going to use the computer for?

 

[JoeStoll]

Straight gaming homie.

 

[Snake-Eyes]

Then i'd suggest moving the drives from 10K to 7200 RPM. As i said before, 10K is unnecessary. Obviously, the final decision is up to you. If you want to keep the 10K RPM drives, so be it.

If you have the budget, and if the site allows it, up that video card to the 512MB 7800GTX.

If you don't have the budget, or you just plain don't want to go that extreme, i'd say that computer is ready for purchase.

One thing i'd suggest is taking the hard drive(s) down from 10K RPM to 7500 RPM. 10K RPM is, in my opinion, unnecessary, depending on what you are using the computer for.

Far as I know, there is no 7500 RPM drives.

The ones I know of are, 5200 RPM, 7200 RPM, 10,000 RPM (Raptor like Drives), and 15,000 RPM (SCSI Drives)

I thought i had it wrong. I meant 7200. Editing now. Thanks for catching that!

Well you might be able to find a better deal on ebay...just a thought. I would suggest using Nabit, a free software endorsed from Ebay...I seem to find great deals for computer parts (I buy and sell)

Took the words right out of my mouth.

No way in H-E-double hockey sticks would I pay $1065 for the CPU

you can get the same exact processor from newegg.com for $201, nuff said.
