Just ordered my computer! Ha, thanks for all the help in my last topic guys. I'm not ordering it til Monday, but this is what I am finalized with (In case you were wondering, my parents gave me an extra 1000 to build my Comp with, that's why I upgraded =]):

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129021

ASUS P5N32-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131073

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115017

EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130072

G.Skill 4GB Ram
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231122

4x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822148140

OCZ ModXStream OCZ780MXS ATX12V / EPS12V 780W Power Supply 100
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817341008

Waiting for the price of the 6600 to drop to 266, by then, should be spending around 2000 on this beast.

    Why not wait til Intel drops the prices on their Quad Cores? By the end of July it's going to be less than $300. But hey, if you've got the money...

    *Jealous*

    You're right, but life is better when you drink American booze =P Granted we don't have beer vending machines on the streets, but I'd rather drink my own piss than Sapporo =P

    How ironic, you'd rather drink your own piss than Sapporo (whatever that is), and American beer tastes like piss. biggrin.gif

    I don't see the point in getting a quad core at the moment anyway since there's hardly any software designed to take advantage of it yet (photoshop and call of duty 3 do I think).

    Make sure to get a 64 bit OS, a 32 bit won't be able to fully utilize your 4 gigs of RAM.

    It's cheap, and even though I can't take full advantage of it, it's a good investment, just like I don't need the 756MB DX10 card, but it's nice to have.

    Onboard sound is good enough =P There isn't that much of a difference ha ha.

    I'll be running 32 Bit WinXP. It uses about 3.5 Gigs, and there is nothing that I'd be using this computer for that would require anything over 2 GB =P Just nice to have the extra lol.

    American Beer is cheap and after around 12 you start to feel em =P

    Most American Beer tastes like water, easy to chug down ya know. Although I must admit, I had some nice Sake a while ago. It was expensive as hell, but felt oh so good going down.
