Nice monitor

I have an Envision 19" Wide screen (1440x900) with a 5ms response time and it works nice, the 2ms response should be nice.

I'm saving up for a Falcon... Flashy laptop!

Can I make some suggestions? Not to sound rude or anything, but this is coming from my personal experience.

Don't go EVGA. I tried that card and it was CRAP. Get anything besides EVGA, a good one would be XFX.

AMD? I am not even going to get started on this pile of...

I would think the Blu-Ray thing is kinda a waste...do you plan to even use them?

Besides those things everything looks great. I have had about 5 of those same Seagate 320gb hard drives in three different comps and they all work perfectly. The RAM looks good too.

Good luck on saving that up.

If you have suggestions maybe suggest a top of the line processor and motherboard. Price tag doesn't matter.

Intel has the leg up on dual core processors.. so if you've got the dough, go for Intel (for now, anyway; we'll see what happens with the quad cores coming out)

 

[unpixelatedgamers]

Well, absolute top of the line for desktops at the minute is the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700. Quad core no less. :drool: But top the line means top of the line price.

very nice if you're going to sli them, but I got mine brand new at $500 cash, no tax or anything. I'm sure you could do better, and just so you know:

they are friggin huge dude so make sure you have space in your comp for both of them AND proper cooling. I know it comes with a built in cooling device but if you sli them you will need at least one extra fan in the side of your comp. Mine's got 5 fans, not including the built in cooling on the 8800 GTX.

BUT WOW!! NIIIICEEE!! (i'm too cheap to get two, but if I had the $$ i would get them and sli them, maybe slightly overclocked).
