And what about extended warranties?
I know warranties are pushed pretty frivolously and places like Best Buy don't have the best customer service, but if a laptop fails it's not like the customer can do anything to fix it.

I like what I see for the most part, but I'm curious how this would handle gaming. I know it's not going to demolish Crysis or Metro 2033 at max settings with 60 plus frames, but how will it...
Well, I certainly don't plan on overclocking intially since it's my first build and I don't wish to overcomplicate things. I did select the 2500K because it's only a marginal amount more and I could potentially overclock sometime in the vague future if I really needed it for performance as the...
Okay, here's Mark III:

Hopefully I'm pretty close to finished on selecting these components, but any suggestions are welcome since I'm close to entering the point-of-no-return soon. I believe all I need is an OS...
I also realized that the power strips I have lying around the house are too old and junky to use on a big investment like this.
This looks decent and is one of the highest rated strips on Newegg:

I don't really know what to look for in a...
This looks good if a bit more pricey:

I guess that PSU you linked looks good, but it just barely clears the wattage need for the GTX 560. Won't that kind of inhibit my ability to upgrade in the future without replacing the PSU?
As far as...
I've modified it a bit.

I'm a first time builder so I'm a little jittery about selecting these parts and assembling the thing together. It's purpose is for gaming. I'm building this from scratch, so I won't be recycling anything. I'll use Windows 7. I don't have it selected yet because I'll see if the campus bookstore...
Wireless is necessary in this case because the desktop will be going in my room. I've spent a fairly extensive amount of time playing some Source games on my laptop in the same location where I will be placing the desktop. Ping is typically below 100 with occassional spikes, so if I recieve...
The resolution on the monitor is 1920 x 1080.
For the video cards, the brands are ASUS or PNY for the GTX 470s and Sapphire for the 6870s. I've also been considering that since I'll be putting this desktop in my room perhaps I should go with the 6870 for noise and heat. Will the difference in...
I intend to use this PC for gaming. I basically need everything except a mouse. I have no prior experience with PC construction. I will be ordering it from ecollegepc.com. Please don't suggest that I build it myself; I've already considered that. I will not be overclocking. I know what I want...
