p.s. im excitied i will finaly beable to pwn with decent fps ;D;D;D;D

nice system there, but I would upgrade the graphics card when DX10 comes out (I wouldnt have bought a 7900 personally, something cheaper and to get me by until DX10/Vista) Other than that, I see some happy times ahead! Cheers, Gunny

that 7900GTO is a cheap temp card and i plan on doing a full vista upgrade next year  ;D

ah 260 USD.... Not bad but I would have ebayed a 6800 PCI-E until DX10, but hey, still a good system, sends mine packing  ;D Cheers, Gunny

7900GTO for the win

7900GTO would send a 6800 packing.

Heh. I read your first specs and thought "why is he so excited, thats sh!te". Then I read further and realised that it was what you were upgrading from.

I'll wager that the extra gig of RAM takes more than a month or so to be added. I said in Janurary that I would more than double my RAM at the first oppertunity and am still yet to do so.

You should have gone E6300 w/ a 2GB kit of RAM. Would have saved you some cash too.

Other than that looks good, enjoy it.
