we can't see your shopping cart. we just see what we have in our carts.

nice choice of mouse and speakers. i however don't knwo the keyboard.

 

[Dante_Caligari]

Looks great. I want it.

 

[Ethereal_Dragon]

I am not sure if you relaized or not, but that Motherboard you linked us to is a REFURBISHED unit... I personally would spend a little bit more and get a NEW one. Looks good other than that.

 

[cyrax]

Yeah, otherwise it looks good. Man, I want that case though, they don't sell it where I live.

the psu that comes with that case is generic crap , i suggest youll take these case+psu instead

the mobo as alredy mentioned is *REFURBISHED* so i dont recommend getting it , better pay a bit extra for the asus a8n-e

good choice on the ram , but youll better take this one instead (same price after rebate and better timings)

might wanna consider getting the x2 3800 instead of the 3700 just a little bit more

359$ for 7900gt is an overkill , you can get the leadtek for 309$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122244
the evga is clocked bit higher but you can easily overclock the leadtek to same speeds and maybe even higher, i dont think its worth the extra $

Thanx alot guys.. I might just buy a used gaming comp does anyone have one?

 

[slick_tech15]

You should seriously just build your own. There arent really any "used" gaming machines with 7900 gt's in them because they are so new. Well actually i guess there could.

 

[highhorsepwr]

Ya I would just buy a used comp and slap some new stuff in.

Does this look like an ok monitor?
