2GB DDR2 800 RAM
$60 ($30 after rebate)

1GB 8600GT

(the rest were fairly close in price.)

my total: $995
your total:$1390

thats a difference of $395. with that money you could purchase a better video card or processor.
Have you got a case? and PSu?

what are you using this system for???

And if it is an online store you are buying from can we have a link??

I will post other links to stores once i know where you are from, what you need it for etc.ummmm first off im located australia melbourne and the link for the store im buying it off is here http://www.msy.com.au/SYSTEMS/Amdgame.pdf thanks for all the responsesDude that's alot of $$$$$$, if were you i would take Hommer's advice. There are many online sales were you can get PC peripherals for cheap $$$$$$$.You might be able to buy a cheaper preconfigured computer and spend the extra money you saved and upgrade only those portions of the computer that you feel is worth the UPGRADES. Some online computer dealers offer barebones kits which include "bottom of the barrel" parts. I have been building COMPUTERS myself for the past several years. They have been "middle of the road" specs. Depending on what you plan to use it for, you should decide how much to spend on it. If you just plan on using it to surf the net, EMAIL, and word processing, you could get by with lower-end parts. If you plan to use it for gaming and things that require higher power, you'll want higher-end parts. For me, personally, I prefer something in the middle.oh yeah, middle ground might be a good idea if you think you might have a desire to go play some computer GAMES now and then but you're not interested in the high tech gaming gears. Games are a great time-waster. I have better things to do with my time.first off i just wanted to say sorry it took so long my internet didnt get paid -.-" well anyways im going to be using this computer for gaming photo editing and most likly video editing so i want to get a fairly good computer.
