That a nice PC and will last a few years. but there's no point in getting a floppy drive you don't need one and it will make your case look ugly. also what make of ram are you planning on using.

I seriously doubt you aren't sure whether that setup will last you for at least a few years. That last part about the "lifetime chat support" is totally unnecessary and you're probably just bragging about your system. Also, just about any stystem over $1,400 is going to be a pretty dang good computer. Stop wasting people's time.

That PSU isn't good. Anything from Apevia (Aspire) is considered a tier-4 PSU, which is pretty bad. It doesn't deliver very well. I would get a better PSU from a better brand, like Seasonic, OCZ, PCP&C, Zippy or Enermax.

Actually the Aspire(Turbo Case) is a Tier 5, making it even worse.

Anyway I didn't know about PSUs and Tiers until your post, so that is probably something to look at. My bad.

You never know, someone could be using like dell or some other place and copying the parts here. Sometimes people want to start into computer gaming and don't really know what is good. You can't always judge it by spending xxxx dollars as a good computer. I spent 2000 a few years back for a dell 1.6ghz computer with 256mb ram and 40gig hdd.

Yup, I accidentaly upgraded it to Tier-4, mixed up the names. Aspire or Apevia, it was just a bad attempt to make themselves look better while nothing really changed. ;)
