Wow nothing?

Well, it looks great to me! But I'm not one who should be giving out advice.

But maybe a bit more info will get you a quicker response, though it's saturday so things may be slow around here.

I assume this is a gaming rig? What kind of monitor are you going to use? I read somewhere that for the really high resolution textures you may want your GPU to have more memory. But that's assuming this is a gaming rig, you want to play in really high resolutions and my memory is correct. So don't take my word for it .

In any case I'm jealous, it looks really nice.

Thanks for the response, yea you are probably right, some more information would help lol. I plan on using it for gaming, and the monitor I'm using is pretty old, its a Samsung Syncmaster 171v.

right the system looks good with a few adjustments it will be great

like ConBas said a 8800 would be better so a 8800gtx/ultra with finish it off nicely or if your budget can't stretch that much make sure you get a 640Mb 8800gts to make sure games will run smooth.. a 320Mb is good but the more the merrier

about your choice of OS, windows XP i would advise you go with vista home premium 64bit or... if you still like XP dual boot XP and Vista.

also im very happy with the warranty 3 years

also a few other things i would like to ask...

what keyboard, mouse and speakers you using for your GAMING rig theres no point in spending $2000 on a PC and you cant interact with it properly.

haha well i was just planning on using the generic microsoft keyboard and mouse combo that came with my old Alienware computer, and taking the speakers from that same computer set up (My monitor, mouse, speakers, and keyboard are all from my 4 year old alienware)
