1. Get a Core 2 Duo E6750 and Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R,X2 6400+ is uber ripoff.

2. Get a CORSAIR VX550 instead of that Rosewill,rosewill is crap.

3. 512MB HD 2900XT,1GB is also uber ripoff.

Nice, I personally would save myself the money and go with the 512mb card.

I seriously doubt you would notice a big difference between them unless maybe if you were playing at insane resolutions (2560 * 1600), even then im not sure there would be a difference, 512 is enough IMO.

Why are you buying slow RAM? Wouldn't it be better to go with something faster, like PC 6400, for just slightly more money?

Yeah come to think of it AM2 mobo's are considerably cheaper than their intel equalivents,but you should step down to a X2 5600+,X2 6400+ isn't worth the $80 or so for only an extra 400MHz.

Not true. You can get a 650i ultra for under $100, and besides, you're spendin $1800, I'd say budgeting shouldn't be an issue. Not to mention that pc kinda sucks for that much money.

Okay so what do you guys reccoment the E6850, and 650I ultra is better than what i chose?

i got enough money for the 680i LT, what do you guys think?

Okay how about this?
