Not much to say here, some pretty nice parts. Though Newegg would not be my choice for most of these parts. TigerDirect is cheaper. And IDK about the High-Speed HD, it's noisy and I dont think you will need it (but then again...).

Nice computer, I would suggest getting a 700 watt psu, you might want get an Ageia Phsyx card (since you have one open PCI-E slot), and some patriot or corsair memory.

no offense, but i really dont think im gonna get the physics card.

also, i'm probably gonna use other sites. i just used newegg to make wishlist cause they have a ton of parts

also, i was looking at those ram companies but the chips they use are microns mostly and im looking for d9's(can oc better if i do decide to oc RAM).

i found a good pair of g.skills that were pretty close to the ballistix

at those prices i may get 4 gigs of RAM


aslo to reply to he HD, ive heard mixed reviews about how loud it is. I was getting it to put games on it essentially. I think i'll stick with, but i may not

I was gonna go SLI and get a 680i mobo but it would cost a ton and id need to but a much larger monitor. I plan on getting a new monitor but that will cost enough without adding the 600 dollars for a video card.

Also, did you guys read about the 8800 ultra? If you havent, you should google it. It was recently announced

A rather futile move considering his motherboard supports ATi's Crossfire, not nVidia's SLi.

if you don't overclock you cpu,i don't think e6600 can burst the full performance of 8800GTX,and intel motherboard's OC ability,you can't count on it
just personal opinion

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

You have too much money.
