dont waste your money on the wrist strap when you can easily touch the metal frame of your case to ground yourself. i've built 20+ comps and i've never had any problems with static.

Looks great!
Are you going to overclock?
If not, the RAM might be overkill.

thats one helluva of a computer there buddy congratulations!

Man that is bada_s!! Wow Njoy I wouldn't change a thing.

Thats one very nice comp. But if your not going to OC there is no use getting that ram, because it will just run at 200mhz (pc 3200). Instead just get some nice OCZ 2-2-2 memory ..... that stuff is fast.

A friend of mine shot his hard drive last week not using an antistatic band. For .3 of the total system cost I think it's more than worth knowing you're not going to damage your $3000 system.

And man, good luck getting that eVGA PCIe card anytime soon.

Atleast at that price 445$. ZipZoom had some last night for 659$ !!!!! Out of stock now lol. Not like you'd pay that much anyways

Good looking stuff. I might have gone with the 3400 rather than the 3500 just because the over all power increase is not that much for the $. Other then that its a hell of a system! Have fun!

I will be OC.
