Hey captain seriously you don't have to sacrifice yourself to kill the scarab. Their actually pretty easy to kill. You just have to jump in the back and shoot this little light. Remember captain from training where they showed us how to kill it? Captain... CAPTAIN... oh god damn it seriously?

This is what im thinking about getting. I figure its pretty damn good for the price. So I assume ill be able to run Halo 2 vista and other games pretty well right? I mean with the Intel dou quad 2.66 ghz processor, the nividia 9800gt, and the 4gbs of ram ill be ok...

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I currently use an ATi Radeon 4870. From what I've been hearing (and experiencing), I wish I had gone the nVidia route. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I bought the card, but I feel I might have been better off with a newer nVidia card instead.

My Radeon 4870 blows the 9800GT to pieces, though. A card upgrade might be in your future if you get that PC, Hendrix.

And you better pray that nothing's wrong with it upon arrival. From what I hear, Cyberpower's customer support blows.

I hope there's nothing wrong with the 5870.

Seems pretty good for the price, although you should be over-clock that CPU easily to 3.2ghz, and the graphics card is kinda old but it's pretty good for the price. Although you would be able to get a much better system if you build it yourself.

Antec 900 case - $99.99

Intel Core i7 920 - $288.99

CD/DVD Drive - $29.99

WD VelociRaptor 300GB 10k RPM - $229.99

EVGA Intel X58 Motherboard - $199.99

Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 1600 - $109.99

Antec 750W PS - $114.95

BFG NVIDIA GTX 285 1GB - $339.99

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit - $149.99

Grand total: $1563.67

Yes, It added a couple hundred dollars, but that will last you MUCH MUCH longer and give you a much higher quality system. If your looking for something under $1000 though, the one you picked out is what you should get I guess.

Some people dunno how to build their own PCs or aren't confident going from scratch, though. That's why I went with OEM and built off that.
