And the GT... 290$? you should get one from best buy (exact same video card... evga), with the coupon and tax and everything its 220$ or so...

Yeah, go ahead and show me "high end" RAM being 20$ after rebate...my 2GB was $40 after MIR, thats pretty standard. 4GB, don't need it right now. Next rig will probably be DDR3 anyway. The point of this build was for a good system that would last me for a year.

And for the 8800GT, good luck getting that at BB. I have checked around and they are out. Paying a few extra dollars is better to me that having BB vaperware.....
