Is that good enough?...? *update--->looked and saw that it can hold 8 fans? ....

the review on one of the sites they listed said 8! but the specs say it only comes with 2. So you "could" put in 8 fans!?

Keep the case? or no...?

O and should I get a floppy drive!? lol almost forgot it!

What is the PSU good for that the case will come with..?

And what do you suggest I do about playing games with a cd.. Should I get a second cd drive to take the abuse of the game cds and stuff...?

Finally last but not least: What monitor do you suggest...? <==I'm gonna try to find a good one.... but I still don't know what all the specs mean...*looks up on google*

Thx again!!!!!

It seems that your system is high end except for your video card. I would spend less money on ram and find a good psu on sale for like 75 bucks and use the money saved to get a 7800gt. If anything get an evga 6800gt so you have the option to step-up to a 7800gt in a few months.

Yes.... my video card...:\ Ya mabe I should mabe spend less on ram first.

Where could I get a good psu? I have no experience on building computers. This is my first build:)

Why do you say a evga 6800gt instead of a leadtek 6800gt<==arnt they the same?

For the ram, 1gb should be good for now but 2 gb will be the norm I am guessing in 6 months. I would get one stick of gb ram now and get another down the road. I don't think you will be missing out from two much not running in dual channel.

OCZ is a good brand but they have cheaper models with simialar voltage for less. Unless you are into overclocking and need extreme stability, any good brand psu will most likely will be fine. I have an Antec Truepower 2 that I got for $60 and it has worked great for me so far.

Both are good video cards from what I heard but evga has a lifetime warrenty, supports overclocking and aftermarket coolers (from what I understand), and has a step-up program in which you can use credit from what you paid for one of their cards to buy a better card form them.

Looking nice, except I would choose an eVGA 6800GT with the nice warranty they have.

skip that overpriced power supply for a powerful yet quiet Fortron 500W Blue Storm. it comes with nice long sleeved cables and is nicely priced. link

that aspire's power supply is weak at best. they make ok cases. i like Cooler Master and a few Antec cases. find one of their cases that you like the looks of since people have different preferences. link

get an xfx 7800gt, Anandtech recently reviewed it and said it was awesome. it comes with one of the best warranties and is one of the cheaper models link

they are cheaper than newegg in many cases, so buy from them.

people give them very good reviews

buy from whichever has the cheaper product.

New egg's xfx 7800Gt card

Zip zoom fly's same card

----
So should I forget about getting this one instead?
the eVGA 7800GT<==cheaper but no lifetime warrenty!

the stores dont offer the warranty. its the manufacturers that offer the warranty

xfx offers double lifetime warranty and makes great products. Anandtech's recent review loved them

the stores just sell them and it is the manufacturers who have the warranty
