So my current computer (xp2100, 9500pro, 1gig ram) is being extremely fussy and won't tell me what's wrong with it so I'm fed up with it and purchased a new rig.

Just pushed purchase for these items:

Newegg:
Intel E6300
Gigabyte DS3
XFX 7900GT
Corsair 2gig PC26400

and these from ZZF:
OCZ Gamestream 600W PSU
Antec P180B

These total up to ~$990 after MIRs so I think this is a good sporatic gamer build. If anybody thinks something should be changed tell me.

I already have a DVD and a CD burner plus a plethora of hard drives for this rig including 2 WD 2500KS drives. I may purchase a raptor later after christmas perhaps.

Edit: I also have an X-Fi soundcard.

Wish me luck on my new build.

Nice rig... you'll be seeing a very nice performance boost from your previous rig.

When I first saw the title, I thought this was going to be a thread about how you accidently hit the "purchase" button twice and were charged a couple thousand dollars that you couldn't afford :)

haha most computers dont tell you whats wrong with them :D I wish I had one that did!

Anyway good luck with the new build. How much did you purchase that 7900GT for? The GTOs are going for about $250 and would be a real sweet card.

That happened to me a little while ago when purchasing a budget s754 rig for a friend. I wound up w/ two identical systems. Newegg said that if I didn't open any boxes, I could return the second order. I wound up keeping it tho and selling it to a co-worker. Unfortunately, I bought two rigs that both had bad X700s, either that or some kind of hardware incompatibility. Never was able to solve that problem......now I have two X700s that may or may not be good.

I bought the XFX 7900GT from newegg for 250-50MIR=200... I'm a rare gamer so I think this was a good price. Should be enough to push my Dell 2007WFP for a while.

The extra $50 for the GTO would've gone a LONG way...

not really if he's a "rare" gamer. the 7900gt was overkill for a "rare" gamer.

That's basically why I just got the GT. I figured it was a good price for a card that'll last me a while.
