Total - [$876.02]

I need to add a fan or two and I'll be set. I'm using the HD from my older machine to this one, btw. Any suggestions? I need the total to be under $900, so I'm mainly just looking for shortcuts/price cuts. I'd like to stay mainly with Newegg, if possible.

Thanks in advance.
 
lol, i'm a noob but i think you should switch the video card out for the HIS X800XL. It'll be back in stock in the morning and it comes with an artic cooler on it, instead of the hsf. Other than that it looks pretty good.
 
Get an XP90 and a Panaflo and if you don't have any, some AS5. You'll be able to get that 3000+ up easily.

Other than that, looks good.
 
No [H]ard|Drive? If you can't decide what to buy, look [thread=873523]here[/thread].
 
Yes, that PSU is still fine. Unless you plan to OC, sorry if you said you did I kinda scanned over your parts and didn't really read it, don't get the XP90 the stock HSF will do fine.
 
Well, the stock CPU is at 1.8GHz but I wanted to OC that to 2.0 or so. Will the PSU be fine still?
