    Anymore under 500 deals on 7800 GTX?

    I was right about to buy one from dell for 491.00, but now its well over 500 so I was wondering if any of you knew of any deals I could get on the 7800GTX. Thanks.

    $535.30 is now what dell has jacked the price up after coupon from $491 since yesterday....too many people using coupon dell had to make the original price like $665....guess good deals never do last...im not paying over 500 dollars for this card period. Any more less than 500 deals anyone?

    What kind of game is BF2? not sure if I'll need the 2 GB of memory, any thoughts on this? I suppose i can get a cheaper CRT monitor by taking the 19" LCD back or use my crappy 17" one that i already have. I'll need to get a monitor around $300 it looks like if i want the 7800GTX video card...

    Building a Computer - Build for $2000

    Oops I take that back, I was looking at newegg, at monarch computer its 654, like 80 dollars cheaper...so I'm not sure its worth the extra 100 dollars, maybe...i guess i can take my monitor back and get a CRT for around 300-400

    Building a Computer - Build for $2000

    I don't think an extra $170 dollars is worth the 4400...in that case i wouldnt be able to afford a 7800GTX...i cant really go over 2100
