plus i get 5% off and i could pick it up at the factory 30 mins from my house. I'm probably gonna oc the 3700+ processor to 4000+ speeds, instead of paying 135 bucks more and maybe oc the graphics card a bit and later put in another 7800. Ohh yeah and i'm getting a super alien 520watt power supply, but i'm not sure if it is sli ready. i need about 800 dollars more any ideas for some quick cash??

Wow... how could all that be worth $1225.00?

Just a quick note. My new case has volume control, fan control and temperature monitor. Along with the LED lights, there is quite a few cables. Make sure you have enough connectors to power everything.

I'm not sure what the power requirements are for the 7800 GT, but if you're going to have plenty of fans, etc... you might want to consider a bigger power supply than 420W. Maybe someone else can shed more light on that.

420W should be adequate if it is actually 420 watt. you have to watch out cause some P.S. manufacturers claim max output on their powersupply as the actual wattage while the sustained is actually around 350.

If you decide to add in a second 7800 later I would recommend upgrading the powersupply to a 500 watt or higher so your system isn't starved for power and unstable. Plus it gives you room to upgrade down the road without having to buy a new powersupply again.

It's costing me about 2k to build a system close to that, I think it is a good deal
