Build 1, thats a cheap 4850
and btw that samsung monitor is awesome
 
#1 Because of the Motherboard. The most important part of the system. (Well maybe the PSU is).

Anyone else think that we are going to eventually have everyone with the same setup?? Its always the BioStar I45, with the 3ghz+ Wolfdale or 2.8ghz Q9550, then the good old Corsair 750w, and Reapers. But then again, they are the best...
 
yeah just change the first build to a 4870, also swap the seagate for a WD 640gb, they in write speeds.

otherwise great build!
