Looks pretty good...if graphics performance is important to you, consider dropping the extra $$ on a 7800GT(X).


as far as the ram goes, i suggest going with the corsair, especially if you have any plans to overclock.
you may also want to consider getting multiple drives, like 2 160's or something like that. it might not matter to you, that would just be my preference.

Go with Corsair, or OCZ... they make some good memory with low CAS#... try to look for something with CAS# = 2.
Get a DL DVD burner dude.. it is not that expensive... you can get for about 40 bucks.

I will stick with the 6800 gt maybe get the 7800 gt if the price goes to $400 (CDN)(rite now $500) but not the GS. And i will go for a value ram Corsair.

Any other suggestions????

The [Corsair 1024MB PC-3200PRO TWINX-Dual Channel DDR - TWINX1024-3200C2PRO] is $177 and the value ram is 117. Is the extra money worth the pro stuff????
