    How does my ~$1500 gaming build look?

    At the resolution you are gaming at, I believe that an 8800GT would be sufficient and they are at an extremely good price point (I have seen them go as low as $170 AR). As for fans, I'm personally a fan (no pun intended) of Scythe but they are a bit on the pricey side. I've heard nothing...

    XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 @ [H]

    Decent performance but I was expecting the price to be closer to 450-500 bucks than 600. Guess I'll just have to make do with my GTS right now and wait for the next gen. Hopefully, something a little bit more cost effective will come out.

    Building a new rig, would like suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestion on ditching the Raptor. I think I might get a Hitachi 750gb 7k1000 drive. Supposedly, it seems to come very close to Raptor performance and I don't think I'll ever use up more than 750 gigs.

    Building a new rig, would like suggestions

    Hey everyone, I am planning on building a rig at the end of the month. Nothing too expensive but nothing shabby, probably will budget around $1200-$1400. I'm a big fan of bang per buck. The system will be mostly for gaming and some mild photoshop work. Right now, this is what I have in...
