Quick question : if i buy a mac of the same cost and value, eg: Imac i7, would i be able to build a pc better than that? P.S. Upping the Budget for more long term use. Thanks.

BCB is bing cash back btw. In case anyone didn't know.

I believe WII and PS3 can do this.

Oh my mistake. Ill just wait for these reviews. Thanks Danny. This is the only thing holding up my build.

Noted on the Intel SSD. Are there any ssd's with a minimum of 60gigs that preform better then the Intel for the same price or less? TigerDirect has the Intel x-25 -m 80gb for $200 and $197 shipped after BCB...

Ahh alright. I might have to wait till reviews come out. The intel is a hexcore right? Thanks for the quick response.

So the AMD phenom x6 is on sale at Amazon.com. I am wondering if that would be a better route then the I7- 930. Thanks! $229 http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-1055T-Processor-HDT55TFBGRBOX/dp/B003FVNC0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1271979109&sr=8-1

The PSU given is on sale now . CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply [newegg.com] for $90 - 10% code PSUSAVE10 ($9) - $20 rebate [newegg.com] = $61. Shipping starts @ $6.

Ahh i knew there was a catch lol. One more thing I just saw that amd is selling the x6 phenom soon to rival the intel 980x. My question is would this actually be a better choice then the intel 930 or is it too early to say. Thanks again for all the help.

yeah I definitely will. Thanks for the advice. I was wondering is the gtx 470 better then the 5850?

Alrighty that settles that. Thanks for the update. That would definitely raise my budget higher than I ever wanted. Thanks for all the answers to my questions.

Yeah 1920x1200. Yeah the $1000 was the budget, but there are just so many good things out there and great advice on here. So a 5870 probably wouldn't last me much longer, since nvidia will probably release a better one in a few.

ahh well at least playable i hope lol. Would a 5870 last me a little longer? I was reading somewhere that if i have a 24 inch monitor i wouldn't need anything higher then a 5850. True?

Oh thank you for clearing that up for me. Would that single vidcard help me play most of the games out right now on max settings and future games for a bit?

Yeah I am located near one. I was thinking of getting the 930 since it is on sale. Good Idea?
