Looks pretty good to me, though personally I wouldn't go with Vista, Vista is absolute crap, but if you can deal with it, then that rig is great.

well im only with vista for more games that are coming out on the market that run better on vista than XP anyways do you know if i should bother geting a geforce 8800 or just stick with the 8500 (i'd like to know because the 8800 is alot and if my card is close i dont see the point in upgrading it yet)

[Sakaki]

The 8500 should be ok, I haven't heard anything bad about it, and haven't heard or read much on the 8800, I would suggest doing a little research on it and see what you think you should get.

[sasuke1882]

yeah i think i will do but i think im going to upgrade my gaming case next (lol im such a geek XD allways messing around with my computer)

keep vista, they're making good hot-fixes for it, so it doesn't eat up much memory.

CPU is good, what motherboard you have? you have a pretty big hard drive, and the 8500GT is pretty nice too

you're probably as geek as I am... I am also, always messing around my computer... but I'm more into overclocking and watercooling... :P

[cloud_diamond]

Yes, but NO ONE IS AS GEEK AS I AM! MWUAHAHAHA! (Hey, im back!). Nice PC. I might need to steal it!

[Yoherz]

back man.

And you won't steal it before I will!

i got a EVGA nForce 680i SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard for manly 2 reasons

1. 2x Gigabit Ethernet Ports

2. Extreme Overclocking

you would love it pacman you can overclock the s**t out this motherboard (i love to over clock too never done much on watercooling though)

man, you have some good damn specs overthere. The PC I use has a 2 series vga with an intel P4 and agp vga port.
