    Hmm. I will think about it some more. I will definitely go with the RAM abuzar posted though. Dunno where I found the one for $300. Lemme look.

    Oh yea. I looked at this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145179

    why is it so expensive?

    EDIT: Should I get a better PSU? This does not look like it is enough. 95 for the processor, about 500 for the video cards. If I do go for a bigger PSU, which should I get? This looks to be getting too expensive for my taste. I might go for Q6600 instead.

    It's four sticks of memory, not two like the others. The 1GB Dominator modules seemingly never dropped in price when the 2GB versions arrived. One of those cases where the price doesn't quite match how good something is, 2x2GB is a better combination to have anyway.

    Yea you are right, nevermind. Thanks.

    EDIT: OK, compiled list on newegg. With shipping and tax and crap, it all comes down to about $2400. Not the ideal price, but I have to say, the ideal computer. I think I will go with this unless something amazing happens and they begin to sell 4870s for $150.

    EDIT 2: This is the list:

    final thoughts? I want to make sure before I order the parts and find that none of them work with each other. >.>
