Hey guys, I just customized this PC at Monarch and well I am not sure on a couple things really, if you guys could offer your feedback it'd be greatly appreciated. Also I wouldnt mind lowering the price just a tad.

You could customize the items here

After my last Enermax powersupply messed up I really dont like them but I dont know how good Thermaltake is compared to them, I would have much rather prefered Antec but they arent there so =(

The motherboard I have no idea what I am picking, I just picked a random Asus one from the list.

Also the hard drive I picked I really don't want but I got confused on picking either IDE or SATA or SATA3 drives. I am guessing I need to choose a Sata drive but the whole Raptor, Caviar thing throws me off as well.

ever consider buying parts urself and putting it together?
1) you arent limited to certain part
2) its cheaper
3) its fun
 
Yeah I have considered it but I decided if I was going to invest so much money into it, I don't want to buy all these expensive pieces and mess them up since I've never built my own PC before. Really the motherboard/CPU installation would be my worst concern. I look at mine that has a huge Zalman fan on it atm and I don't see how the **** they installed it without breaking stuff.

And I know if I can't get it working my rage will kick in and I'll probably break all the pieces then have a heart attack. So to avoid a costly death I think it'd be best to order it =(
