im just wondering how he got it for $75, i cant find it lol

its actually $125 they subtract $50 and then add in the game which costs $50 (and you can't remove the game from the shopping cart) i guess that's just how they show the value of the game but still give it for free with the purchase. its the same thing with the cpu and flash drive

i did some research and i found out they they where the same card they just re-released it with a different name and made it more energy efficient, many thanks ;), i just only picked that card because it seemed to be really popular and had a pretty good price but the gts 250 is the same price, i also hope they give out a different game like call of duty or something

the processor is pretty expensive for a core 2 duo, i was considering the q8200, and q6600 and found out that the one i picked is better for gaming and the price isn't that bad, its acually pretty good for the price

Dude, up to the Q9400. More L2 cache. And its only $189 at tigerdirect. Just installed one in the g/f's PC yesterday.

duo right now is better for games but once more come out quad will be more compatible.

Spend 25$ more and u can get an amd 955 BE which is a BEAST. very easy to overclock as well

Looks good but I don't see why you go for the Intel build, especially if you are on budget. AMD build would be cheaper that Intel E8400 cpu cost $150 while AMD X2 550 which performs pretty much the same cost $100 and not to mention if you get lucky can unluck the other two cores. And since 550 is black edition you can also overclock it very easily.

Anyway the PC build you got looks good and you should be able to play the newest games.

i don't know why but i just want an intel lol, probably because of the influences of people that i know and i think they kinda go together with nvidia, and i think nvidia evga cards look cool :P but thats just me being biased

i do need a wireless connection cause i want this in my room and i have a downstairs router, my ps3 also has built in wireless connection and works great, i might even buy an xbox so i can play with some friends and have it use my computers wireless connection, i read about it a little bit and its a lot better than buying a $100 thing even if i have to keep the pc on, but its gonna have 7 fans so thats like an ac O.o

i dont think im going to need to buy an aftermarket cpu fan/heat sink cause i don't think im going to plan to overclock

right now this is just going to be a pretty basic good gaming computer not hardcore or anything and a pretty good budget i think just play blizzard and steam games, if i ever wanna go quad core for what ever reason why i might need that sorta power ill do it when money isnt an issue for me and go all out lol
