    for the money that's really good.

    PSU isn't the best but I doubt you'll be doing much OCing. a firly good rig with a moderate upgrade route. I dont' see anything wrong really...

    you can shave 10$ off the harddrive by getting a cavier from newegg... it's SATA too so you're left with more options...

    yeah.. sure... exploded. Whatever you say buddy.

    Merged Post:


    you may be more satisfied with this gfx card (for the price.)
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814131007

    130 Mhz faster core clock, only 20 Mhz slower Memory Clock (overclockable maybe), and has 4 more pipelines. Just something to look at.

    ps. where you live in florida? i live in palm beach.

    agreeing with john there, unless you plan to game in linux(which is mostly futile in my opinion)then the x800GTO is a fair amount better

    6800XT is more or less a glorified 6600, though i heard on some versions all pipelines were unlockable. I have no experience with such though.
