Not trying to be a vigilante-moderator, but shouldn't this go in water cooling or general hardware?

I guess it is if you want it.....but I wouldn't buy a few things on that list. Like how are your going to fit 4 DDR boosters unless they have gotten a lot smaller than I remember or the ram slots are miles apart on that board. Wouldn't touch the PSU with a 10 foot pole for that system since it is nowhere near the quality of others at the price. And wouldn't touch the case either cause well IMO it is fugly.

PC P&C 800 (or 850) watt SLi ready PSU.

Now THAT is a good PSU.

Listen to this man. Although, I would like to add one more "MUCH" in there. You can't go wrong when you build your own machine.

Good Luck :D

$10 per hour still isn't getting you a rig like that, trust me.

At 40 hours a week, that's $20,800 a year, which is hardly anything anymore, unless you're still living in your parents' basement.
