IAMSPAZ,

In all honesty, I would pick my parts from (Newegg) or some other good vendor, put my build together and save BIG BUCKS for the SAME or BETTER Performance that you are going to get from the EVGA rig. You are are "Ripping Yourself Off" BIG TIME FOR THOUSANDS !! Newegg has got all that stuff and more. Nothing at all unusual about the EVGA HW components. In fact, some of the components can be bought at a Best Buy store.

Kindest Regards,
Rick P.

dell has an xps420 with almost the same specs for $900 they'll even throw in a flat panel monitor

lmao OzSpitt.....

just asking but what would you need 3 disk drives for i think that one Samsung 22x of these and then one blue ray burner would work just fine. and the 8 gb's of ddr3 will raise the price a bit and i think with that much ram you would not see too much of a performance diff. than some higher quality ddr2 ram.

just my input you can do what you want because you will be the one buying but i think that you could seriosly save a lot of money if you look into it more then with that saved money you could buy a huge monitor or multiple monitors :)
