I was considering these parts from newegg to build my own pc, will the tuniq cooler and 8800gt be too large for the case?

btw - how does the pc as a whole look? good or could be better? and thanks for any help or advice.

I just did a price compare between built vs alienware. With the estimated price of having someone else put everything together alienware pc at $3699 I was able to price at $2771, almost a $1000 dollar savings.

Two things however, I will be using my existing Windows Vista license and my existing DVD player. Everything else including the hard drive would be new...(oh well not keyboard and mouse).

thats why i dont even consider looking at alienware, they are a complete rip. but most people think that you can save a huge amount of money on home builtover others like dells or hp's but they are actually close to the same price.

alrighty, i can get pretty much the exact pc from hp for $1,560. the only difference is that the ram will be 667MHz and the monitor doesnt have a built in camera, buit thats not a big deal.

can you notice the difference in ram? (800Mhz and 667MHz)

alrighty i can get all of this for alittle under $1,800. good?

Vista Home Premium

Quad Core Q6600

4gb ddr2 at 800MHz

500gb hdd

DVD burner

20" flat screen monitor

512Mb 8800GT

Intergrated Sound Blaster Audigy sound card

Media keyboard, mouse, and 2.1 dell speaker system.

Alright I decided that I DO NOT want to build my own pc. My friend has a dell pc and a dell laptop and he has had no problems with them, and i must say that they seem to run very good and smooth. So I'm thinking about getting a dell.

It is gonna have a Quad Core Q6600 CPU, 4 gb of DDR2 ram at 800MHz, 500 GB HDD 7,200 RPM w/ 16mb cahce, and an8800 GTX,

Will it be a good rig? it'll be aroun $2,000. (w/ everything like monitor, speakers, and what not)

And if any knows or likes another prebuilt pc company that is better/cheaper, please tell me.

u sound like you know what you are doin lolz. thanks alot.

I would look into a cheaper GPU but i wanna be able to run Crysis and CoD4 smoothly with prretty great graphics. would i be able to with the current build?

Is this good/great? how should i make it better?
