Shoot, that sucks... My uncle said he's got them in his box-o-parts too. And take a look at the case I am getting! Im sure its got plenty of air movement to keep it kool. BIG fan on the side, one on the back, my uncle has an extra one to put in the optional front fan. So I think I am good with that. and for a motherboard how is Gigabyte or w/e that brand is... any good?

I like Gigabyte, ASUS, MSI and Aopen.

That case will take a full ATX board.

I would throw a fan in the front too just to cool the Hard drive.

What are you going to use for a CPU fan? The stock AMD? If not, then look at Zalman, like this one:

ZALMAN CNPS8700

It can be pain to install but it cools like a champ. Be sure to get some Arctic Silver heat sink compound too. If you or your buds have not used this type at me before installing the fan.

Alright I will. I think my Uncle has a fan for the CPU on the order list. If not then I will just have to wait to get it for now. But for what I am getting I dont think thats a bad price at all. I like Newegg! lol

Now I just need a flatscreen monitor for a great deal. lol

not sure if you would agree mike, but take a look at pricewatch.com you can find alot of good stuff there and some of there deals go through newegg also.

Pricewatch, pricegrabber, dealtime, buy.com all get you were you want to go.



Outpost.com is Fry's Electronics web site. I only go there if I need it now and they have exactly what I want. Their sales guys are like BestBuy, totally clueless.

2 things i would change on that list. Motherboard and Video card. 1 thing i learned through the years of computer gaming, and countless systems i have built, is not to skimp on motherboards. If you plan on overclocking your system you may not have the option with that board.

Right now im running a EVGA nvidia 680I SLI board with a pentium duo core 6600 overclocked from 2.4 gig to 3.2.

4 gigs Corsair Dominator ram

8800 GTX 768mb Video card

Now... if price is the issue then you're getting a decent machine to work with. If you're interested in graphics and the ability to run todays higher end games, you might wanna look at some other options.

Just my 2 cents...
