Spacedude, I've been kick around the idea of building a new comp pretty close to your specs, how much did that cost you?

You might be able to find cheaper stuff online though, I prefer to buy stuff from a local store to buying it online.
 
I priced my build a little bit lower, but thats because I have quite a bit of the stuff, I would need..

How well does the core 2 duo performe with games?

Some of the parts you bought at the store are pretty good deals, but if I wer you I would have gotten the case, CPU, GPU, and hard drive from newegg, and save yourself $400.

Thanks for the info thealmighty one...

Omega -- I was wondering if his build was a bit high. When I was figuring mine came out being 300 or so cheaper.
 
Yea, I know I pay a more buying stuff from a local store, But I prefer it for ease of returning stuff if needed, and it helps the local economy when buying from the local small computer places.

I completly understand, but as I said, I may have considered just buying the GPU and/or hard drive from online, since you would save about $300.

Just for the future, I've never had a problem returning items to newegg. I usually get a repalcement or refund withing a week after shipping it to them.
 
personally i dont really like the looks of the UV light's It looks so cold :)

but if you like it, its great i gues (only the SLI on the sli-bridge doesnt look very nice imo ^_^ it overdoes it)

Jesus! 4x 74GB raptors? And in RAID. How I wish I had money to keep upgrading.

It took a long time for me to decide to do this upgrade. Its the biggest one I've ever done. Its been like three years since my last upgrade to a ASUS A7N8X-E Board, AMD Athlon XP3200+ 2ghz CPU, 1 gig of RAM and a BFG GeForce 6800 256MB AGP Card. I decided if I was going to go PCI Express I was going to do it all the way.
 
I know when i made my big step to PCI-e,... I decided to take the Albatron K8SLI, because it was simple, so not much extra confusing onboard devices, and it was cheap. i also bought a 6800GT with it, and damn, that was expensive. but looking back at that... i dont regret to have bouth that one, since i had a lot of fun with it :)
