Well PIE your gonna have to give better names for the product ( actually product names ) ^_^ for example the Mobo doesn't really point to a motherboard ( also for 80 bucks its not going to be all that great.... )

If youve got money to spend always give yourself a nice chassis for everything to set on.

For example spend more money on the MOBO and processor and spend less on the GPU. I consider GPU's to be the bolt-on's in the computer world. You can always buy a better card but you wont always be able to buy a better mobo ( unless you plan to upgrade you whole pc lol )

This is the MOBO I will be getting in the near future.  ASUS IV Formula, a little more than what have listed in your setup but well worth it IMO.  You will like that video card, im running the 5850 right now and love it.  That video card with the AMD chipset on the MOBO would be screaming.

Also for the money you could just run an i7-930; you can pick up one of these for less than 200 bucks now. It still crushes AMD's processors ;)

Also i just noticed your powersupply; NEVER buy a cheap power supply! Its like putting 20 weedeater motors in a corvette lol they never seem to work right.


Case
HD
Vid Card
PSU
RAM
Mobo
Processor

With shipping it came just under 1000 bucks. You can get the processor for 200 bucks @ microcenter (saving yourself 100bucks) ;

Also i just tacked on a cheaper videocard; it will be rock solid for playing W@W. Also its Directx11 ;)

That system would crush the system you built Wink ( also its very overclockable! ) Total with shipping came to 959.93 but if you get the processor @ Microcenter you can get it all for 859.93 Wink ( then you could spend the extra on the vid card! )

( im sure we have members that live close enough to a microcenter that will run down and pick you one up Razz )
