Well, this is my new build. I'm getting ready for the new First-person shooters' that are coming out. I was going to order it in today since I had the exact amount of money saved up in paypal. Thing is I saw something I never seen before in Newegg right before I ordered it. TAX, since I'm living in California and Newegg is located in Calfiornia it's adding tax in the equation (Yea, I haven't been using Newegg in a long while). =/ That's 100 dollars+ I have to pay in tax. Does anyone have any other sites that uses PayPal and sells computer parts? (Other than Ebay and Amazon.com)

How much did you pay for all that, because I've been looking up parts and am getting ready to build a new rig myself.

My laptop crashing during games all the time is getting old quick.

It was 1,299. It would of been a lot less, but I wanted a good processor and a good video card. Then the video card had a high watt usage, so I upped the watts on my PSU. I also wanted water cooling. Then to fit the water cooling I needed a new case. Then I'm getting double the amount of the average RAM. Making me pay a total of 350-450 dollars more. If you want a regular good up-to-date PC, should only cost 600-800.

Also updated my first post with prices for you.

1200 is about what I wanted to spend, so that's a good guide.

Ah, If you don't know how to Overclock don't get the 2900PRO, instead get the 2900XT or the 8800GTS or GTX.

After I get more money, I'm getting this sexy monitor.
