what changes/upgrades would you make?

[argoldst]

This is a quote I got for a barebones system (which I will fill out).

I am using this system for gaming so I want teh best performance but I also want it to be quite.

From what I ordered, and what I want, what changes/upgrades would you recommend?

whats the price? and why buy from monarch computer??? buy it from newegg, its cheaper

 

[imported_DaveA]

change the case to the antec p180

look for the patriot 1GB modules at 2-3-2-5

 

[argoldst]

I am buying from them because I have bad luck with mobo's and cases so I rather pay $18 and have them assemble it. The price of everything would be $1780.

Thank you for your reply Dave but please explain why you would pick p180 and patriot ram over what I picked.

For all other recommendations, please say why you would change/upgrade it.
