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.
wow, your close john, I'm north of you in fort pierce up in saint lucie county, one hutchinson island (barrier island)
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.
