Thanks for the advice. Can you get me a pic of you're case? Because i've never built a computer before although i know how to after reading a couple guides so i don't understand what you mean although i have a general idea. Um so this is the set-up im trying to achieve but due to my dad's "laws" im limited to 900$ which has to come with a moniter + keyboard + mouse + Speakers....And on top of that he wants me to stay on the lookout for "good" deals like the Gtx280 and Gtx260 that soared down the other day... I woulda been set with a gtx260 but i didn't get there in time... So i basically have to look for deals if i can't find anything compared to that The beginning of march/end of february i can get my build. So unless i have find a good deal im stuck waiting untill then.

Getting the 4870 would be better then the 4850 because you wouldn't have to upgrade as early. Now this depends on you're budget but if you can swap out that case to one without a psu and preferably one with good air cooling like the tempest, 690 or the 900. And get a seperate psu because from what i've heard generally psu's that come with the cases aren't that good, so i would go with like a 600W Psu by corsaird or another good brand name..

And another thing im not sure if the deal is dead but earlier newegg had 2Gb X 2 Ddr2 800ghz memory by corsair for 24.99 after 30$ Mail in rebate, so that would save you 20$ which you can use to get a 500gb Hard drive, i saw some for 64.99$ earlier today, unless you don't need it then you can keep it or use it for something else.

I would but since im only paying 200$ and my dad's covering the rest he's saying that he wants me to get a one with everything and on top of that now he's being really annoying and saying that i should *wait* 1.5 Months and see if i can grab anything for a good deal like Gtx280 was going for yesterday... which makes me really pissed...Ugh wow .... On the Bright side he said i can go to 900$... but he says he wants me to wait for a good deal so i can end up with a better Video Cards like the Gtx260...

EDIT: With 900$ it would be the same thing above but depending on the Moniter if it was the 170$ or the 200$ i can get a 100-145$ graphics card. Which means i have to *wait* till i can grab a deal...You know having the same computer for 7 years kinda sucks, this is a Intel Celeron 1.3 Ghz..............

EDIT: Does anyone know if Buy.com does sales often like yesterday's 280?

Sure, btw thanks for being so helpful.

LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30 - OEM ~24.99$

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail ~ 109.99$

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Retail ~ 129.99$ 20$MRi

CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5 - Retail 54.99$ 30$ Mri( Mail in rebate)

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail 99.99$ 15$ MRI

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail 189.99$

I'm Missing keyboard, mouse, speakers, moniter and a graphics card. To get a decent keyboard+mouse+speakers = around 60$. So where at 600$. Then there's the moniter i was deciding between the 22'' Acer at 170$ or the Ferrari one at Buy.com for 199.99$. That leaves me with 0-30$ for a graphics card...

Total ~ 609.94$ and then theres 65$ MRI.

EDIT: Forgot to add a hard drive and theSAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM is at 54.99$

It was 1000$ with everything (750W psu...) although i did try to slide a gtx 260 by.... If only the other day i got to the 280 for 190$ in time.... even if i were to put that to a 9800gtx or back to the radeon.. Id still be like a 100$ over...

LMfao yeah lol. Im about to post the "finished" thing in a couple minutes.

Wow this makes me pissed.... My dad basically, to make a long story short, told me that it's got to be 800$ MAX with Speakers + Keyboard + Mouse + Moniter. Which means like a 550$ computer.....................Screw this. I can't get anything with that...

Alright thanks. I think that's what im going to go with. How do i cancel this thread? Or do i just let it die?

EDIT: Lol yeah i know what you mean and the whole "15" thing is true as well. But on the other hand i don't want to end up with a "okay" computer that i have to update very soon so i guess an extra "30$" can save me from updating for a couple months longer if you know what i mean.

WOW THIS MAKES ME SO MAD. I was waiting for the Evga Gtx 260 Core 216 to drop to 200$ for me to grab one and start to build my first rig. And this happens, and by the time i got there all of em were back up to 300$.. I WANNA KILL SOMETHING now....WOWOOWWOOWOW I COULD OF HAD A 280 Now while i wait for the 260 to drop Ill be thinking about how i could of had a 280 for so much cheaper.
