Have you researched at all? What brand CPU? How much RAM? How much storage? Do you plan to OC? Is this sytem going to be used for gaming, rendering, image editing, web browsing, solitaire? Do you have experience building a computer? What operating system are you going to use?

Based off of the bolded, I'd say buy one off of cyberpowerpc.

Performance Thermal Compound on CPU [+19]
Give me a break, $20 to put thermal compound on?
Seriously dude, do a bit of reseach or buy a dell.

7900GT 256MB, 460W Masscool Nextherm, 2x 1GB Patriot DDR2 RAM, Audigy 2ZS Soundcard. Some recommendations for you.

Don't buy from cyberpower. They use bait and swtich with their hardware. You'll end up getting a piece of junk. Even a Dell would be better....Search Hard|OCP. They did a review on one of Cyberpower builds and it did not get a good review.

Buy a Dell and save yourself the bother.
