1) The people on this forum are hitting the spot..there on point.
2) Newegg and tiger direct are all great site for computer prices and support.
3) i bought all my parts form newegg for under $1200.
4) heres my build ^_^
M4A79t Deluxe (ddr3 x4)(AM3 Socket)(6 Sata 3gb)
8GB of DDR3 Ram G.Skill
Phenom II 955 Black Edition CPU
4870 1 GB GDDR5 VRAM
500GB Hard Drive
V8 Heat Sink
1200 Antec Computer Case
IMO there's no point having a giant full sized tower.
Replace the 1200 with a P183, upgrade the 4870 to a 4890, drop the V8 for a Noctua NH-U12.
The rest should be fine, you could also drop one set of 4 gb of ram and shift it to a hard drive.
I really dont like starting arguments..with people i don't know..but thank you for your thoughts reason i went with his build will follow.
1) Full size Towers although they are big ( this thing is up to my Knee and im 6 feet) they provide better air flow..much better than the 900 antec and way better than the antec p183. Much more room for expansion,...my mother board has i believe 7 PCIe slots and im using not everyone but there is no more room to fill in another.
2)Upgrading the 4870 to a XX90 would've been in my best interest for a true up to date build BUT...Near October with the release of Windows 7 and Server 2008 ( FINALLY) There are rumors of DX11 coming out and if not within the next 3 months...so to better budget this build i bought the $70 dollars less 4870 which is only to be honest..100hz slower in memory and 50hz slower in clock speed..which i can easily Overclock like i did anyway..
5) i really don't know what you mean by dropping a set of 4GB of ram which is 2 Slots of DDR3 RAM slots...and convert it to a hard drive???? O.o...Ive never heard of that....but if you meant to say that upgrade the ram to 4 GB stick then i would not be doing so because the only game that i know uses at least 9 GB of ram is Crysis series and Farcry 2...but other than that ...Better Budget build and im out 1Gb of ram..
I hope you dont take any grudge into what i said..but i believe what i said can go without punish cuz i spent the time a resources to make this build perfect..
P.s i for got to change my Heat sink tot hat model would not make any sense at all...i have a OVERCLOCKED 955 ( standard 3.2Ghz) to a 3.9Ghz There fore totally needing the Quad dimensional heat sink design along with the 120mm fan on the V8 Series..but i didn't tell you that soo sorry ..now im apologizing to you
