hahaha you guys are ridiculous, i love it...this guy joe at AVA direct is about to have my head chopped off if i keep changing things. His response emails keep getting shorter and shorter as he gets more fed up editing my order

750 is enough for now, if i wanna add another HDD i can later. The cooljag is pretty weird looking, I agree- the link to all their heatsinks is here, can someone pick something else out for around $50 if you think its better? http://www.avadirect.com/Parts...ccessories/CPU_Coolers

nice so i switched out the ram for the 1066, any other recommendations? I don't really want to mess with the SLI cards, i like the choice and he essentially added them into the system for cost so I'm ok with that.

i meant overkill with respect to the power supply

hey thanks alot for the recommendation guys, i called them and they gave me some BS about their tech guru chris working on overclocking them on the 920 and that i could pay extra for that if i wanted to. I passed and he replaced it with the 1066 and the price dropped 60 bucks so i'll take it...

i ordered two 260's in SLI...still overkill? The last posted config is what i ordered

ok well i ordered this config: # ANTEC, Performance One P182 Black Mid-Tower Case, ATX, No PSU, Steel/Plastic # CORSAIR, CMPSU-1000HX HX Series Power Supply w/ Modularized Cable Management, 1000W, 80 PLUS®, 24-pin ATX12V EPS12V, Multi-GPU Ready # ASUS, P6T Deluxe, LGA1366, Intel®...

ok i agree with that to an extent. but i want to have upgrade flexibility down the line. I didn't realize that i7 sees its big advantage with SLI and CF...do you have a recommendation for a SLI config that would be comparable and not much more than 400?

They just revised it as per my request to this for 1850...any thoughts please? just a yes is all i want from a few people so i can feel ok ordering! # ANTEC, Performance One P182 Black Mid-Tower Case, ATX, No PSU, Steel/Plastic # CORSAIR, CMPSU-1000HX HX Series Power Supply w/...

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. -Gaming with regular media (music, movies, etc...) 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread $2000 3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts...

alright here is a quote i got from AVA Direct. I was thinking of ditching the expensive sound card and 95 dollar CPU cooler since i won't be doing any overclocking. Its primarily for gaming. What are your feelings on the gfx card? too much? AVA charges 425$ for it which i think is a lil...

Hey guys, I just wanted to hear some thoughts about potential configs along the lines of a Yorkfield Q9450, with the bigger cache, but i'd rather not pay a premium for the fastest processor, which i think is a good tradeoff. After that I will probably look towards: (1) 8800GT, for...
