It looks like you are ordering a system. Have ypu compared what it might cost to build the system yourself?

Also, as someone else eluded to; your disk drives are going to be your weak link. Take if from someone that cheaped out on their storage for a long time: rethink that, I would trade one of those video cards for an SSD to hold my OS & apps any day of the week. Or a pair of short stroked wd6400aakk in raid 0 at minimum with another physical disk for data.

yeah im ordering it, i just dont trust myself with the technical know-how to assemble everything, configure stuff, and do it correctly. the farthest i've delved into a computer is installing a gfx card, and memory...plus cyberpowerpc has a 5% rebate, and free shipping which is probably the best i'm going to do.
