My New Comp

I think 1600x1050 should be enough for me, key word there is think.

Fine fine ill raise it to 350. So your saying ebay isnt a good bet?

That makes my computer ending up to be about 1200 with a 24 inch, not bad at all.

what a steal compared to his, best buy rips off consumer :p
 
The general rule with eBay as a whole is caveat emptor. If you don't do your homework, you will get ripped off.

Stick with one of the online retailers, as even NewEgg's return policy is better than what you'll often find at eBay.

I have come from 800x600 to 1024x768 to 1440x900 to 1600x1050 to 1900x1200 ( the last two are my friends and my sister's laptop). Each increase in my book was huge, not only in terms of size available pixels and desktop size but also the size of the monitor.

Ebay can have some good deals but IMHO I only buy from Ebay if I need something for cheap never to get anything new on it. Newegg has barnone, THE BEST customer service that I have ever worked with. The newegg reps will take their time to work with you on whatever problem you have.

Worstbuy is the last place I shop. So many rules and regulations, I have trouble having them pricematch a $50 speaker system online. The reason why they ripoff customers like it's no tomorrow is because they know that the customer doesn't know a single thing about what they are buying internally and when they do experience a knowledgeable customer they usually ask the customer for help. I have been asked continually by a person who works at my local Bestbuy for help all the time.

Yes I do hate BestBuy, a lot. :)
 
mmk ill look around more then, yes bestbuys return policy is CRAP, and most of the guys there dont really know what there talking about, i usualy only buy small items there, its fun to ask complex questions to guys who look stupid and hear them make up stuff, i did the same to apples support line :p

It's not 650GB, it's a 640GB drive.

Anyway:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Stop including the after-rebate prices. To be honest, it's annoying. Rebates are not guaranteed as they can be rejected, lost, or outright ignored. And you still have to pay the full cost upfront.

But other than that, good choices of parts.

Seriously, how much do you have right now? And when were you going to purchase everything?

If you don't have the money to get everything at once, you may have to make some changes to your build.
 
It depends, i might get a mac book for school and that would own my wallet. but now i have 750$ now, im also working on gettting a job at the mac store, or my local safeway because i really need some money, i even resorted to online survays.

HD 4870 (but cheeper)

But what do you recomend i change if i were to get it in maybe a month or two?
 
some new, better parts could be out for the same price as older choices, some things may be cheaper, others more expensive... in short, come back in a month or 2, whenever you're ready, and ask again.

SATA Rev 3 and USB 3.0 won't be in rigs for a while. Another year at least.

We mean better or similar motherboards, graphics card, RAM, hard drives, and any other part of the PC for the same or cheaper price.

So like Enginurd said, come back and ask again when you can afford the rig.
