hahaha....i chose the 2900 xt for the same exact reason. Seagate hard drives tend to be better... If you can...get a thermalright ultra 120 extreme. Crucial Ballistix are cheaper ($80 after mir) and perform better

oh, and newegg.com has some of the some of the stuff for less $$$
 
why on gods green earth would you ever buy from amazon.com? newegg.com has virtually everything you have for cheaper.

id suggest crucial ballistix ram, its $110 w/ a 20 or 30 dollar MIR and better than OCZ.

Secondly, gofor the seagate barracuda 7200.10 250gb perpendicular recording technology 16mb cache, those things are dynamite.

also, id suggest getting the evga 8800gts 320mb over the radeon, on par performance, except the nvidia is better made, more overclockable, more reliable, and cheaper, (IMO)

finally, youll probably be fine with a corsair 520hx.

more overclockable? the 2900 xt's overclock very well, more so than the 8800 gts's if i remember correctly. also the 2900 xt is starting to perform a bit better than the 8800 gts's... But anyways, the 8800 gts 320mb is a great card for the price
 
How can you say that the nvidia card is "better made" when tests show that the radeon, provided you can get rid of the heat can overclock well past any other card on the market. This shows that the radeons have better components in them and thus are "better made"
 
Note: Dont ask me why im buying from amazon.

For some reason i think asking him why he is buying from amazon is stupid, but hey, thats just me!! :)

He obviously has a good reason for doing so(i hope?) so unless he feels like revealing this secret to us i dont think asking him will change anything.

As far as the ATi vs Nvidia

The ATi card is a better choice. This is coming from an nvidia supporter. Its a back and forth game and ATi got nvidia on this one in my opinion. :p

If you read my post, i said, "Dont ask me why im buying from amazon."

I will think about it.

Secondly, gofor the seagate barracuda 7200.10 250gb perpendicular recording technology 16mb cache, those things are dynamite.

I will think about it too.

for my past years i've been nvidia, i'd like to change :).

finally, youll probably be fine with a corsair 520hx.

its more future proof, so when card like 9800 release ......

,and thanks for helping everyone ;)
