You should go with a 20" or larger monitor with that setup. Dell 2005FP?

Very good. I would of went with the 3200 939 and overclocked though after spending the cash on the best over clocking motherboard there is. But whatever floats your boat.

 

[Chosonman]

That's a top 10% system. Very nice.

 

[suse920]

that'll be an awsomesystem

 

[Wolfsraider]

Very nice system

 

[imported_NoGodForMe]

That's a great system.

The ram might hold you back in the OC department, I'm sure you'll hit 220mz. But you can always upgrade that. People are selling the good stuff for $200 a gig in the FS/FT forums. It's not a big deal right now, try the value and see how high it goes, but if you hit a roadblock, it's probably the memory.
The video card counts more in game fps, so OCing that will get you more frames. After you get it all set up, set the AGP voltage to 1.6 and see how high the GPU memory will OC.

Are you paying straight cash or are you about to go into debt like me via credit card?

 

[ribbon13]

You mean straight pay via visa/mastercard logo on the debit card vs a credit card?

I'm glad I have a girlfriend that bitches about food. If I didn't I'd spend all my money on computer stuff and not eat.

My younger brother hogs the rig I built a year ago and I can only use it on weekends when he's away. His excuse is always "I'm working" which isn't true since he's watching porn or burning CDs for people half the time. So I'm debating on weather I should pile another $1800 on the $1,000 worth of debt I have already.

That debt came from building three rigs in less than two years. I already bought my case and I'm going over-budget with the PSU and mod which I had to scrap and start all over with (bad modding tools and cheap sleeving).

had to tack on another $35 for the PCP&C alone.

The upside is you won't need to worry about cooling, since you're in alaska and all. Brrrr!

What does your current rig look like?

Or if your brother hogs your current rig, implying that you're expected share it, why'd you have to pay for all of it?

6800 GT PCI-E

Look for 6800 GT PCI-E.

Nice system, but I would have shopped around for cheaper prices. That's one of the main reasons to build your own computer, to save money. As much as possible.

That site charges $59.50 to ship that card to Alaska, bringing the total to $473.30 shipped. It was probably cheaper at the other site when you add in shipping.
