The rear onboard audio for my motherboard is rather quiet - it sounds good enough to my ears but maxing out all the volume settings I can (including the one in the task bar) is barely enough to satisfy a sufficient volume for electronic music let alone anything classical. I don't think my...

Echoing the posters above me. e7200 is the way to go. If you overclock, you can easily get a solid 3-3.16GHz on stock cooling. Also, the e2180 might be worth looking into if you're really on a budget. e2180 + better graphics card >>> e7200 + worse graphics card. But that's only if you're...

Planning on buying CoD4 anytime soon? The current XFX 8800GS XXX deal is pretty much unbeatable if you happen to fall into that boat (brings the card down to ~50-60 bucks :eek:): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150295 The card will still overclock quite a bit...
