On a side note...I don't like that you use iTunes and Google Chrome. Bad boy!

Oh, and the 500GB model is only $5 more.

I would personally not spend that much on a case and power supply. If you can stand the looks, this case is pretty capable. And perhaps a powersupply like this. You could then spend the extra money on a better CPU and video card.

What's wrong with google chrome? Google chrome gets 100/100 on the acid3... and is the fastest browser right now according to the futuremark peacemaker test. You can test your browser if you want. Also it is much more secure, because each tab runs in its own process. Itunes on the otherhand is crap.

I use Opera...supposed to be fastest. I only use it when I go on text-based web-pages like this. Internet Explorer I use to download. Everything else I use Fire-fox for.

Actually Google Chrome is the only one that hasn't been hacked yet so it's actually the securest. Yeah Opera is amoung the top 5 along with Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and konqueror (linux).

Yes; but in real life, Opera works better than Chrome, IE8, and Fire-fox on my computer.

Not on mine... also those are real world tests, they measure java script performance, and other fun stuff.

I would agree with this. Reading reviews on the hard drive youve selected they dont look good, the Seagate drives looks as though it is much quicker for a similar price.

You're too light. AMD is the best for smart customers. It only isn't good for hyper rich people who want not to have great performance at a low price but great performance at an abnormal price.
