new computer setup help

I would order the harddrives somewhere else because newegg ships them completly outside of manufacturer recommended packaging. The system its self looks like a good bang for the buck.
 
Looks good but I'd go with 2gb of ram if you're a heavy gamer, lord does it help a lot :)
 
Ah, thanks for the heads up on the hard drive OEM, I'll be sure to get a retail one somewhere.

And yah, I do have 2gb ram :p

2 Crucial 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model CT12864Z40B - OEM
Model #: CT12864Z40B

In Stock
Add item to Cart $98.00 $196.00

2 is the quantity
 
Not so much that the drives are OEM, but the egg usually wraps them in bubble wrap and puts them in peanuts, which is not mfg recommended way of shipping them.
 
ah i see. i'll see if i can find a similiar or cheaper price from another e-tailer.

also, i'm just having some second thoughts.

should i go for the 369 bucks evga 7800gt co or the 299 3d fuzion 7800gt?
 
Compare the specs, base it on what you want.

I've started recommending people to Zipzoomfly.com for harddrives, not the cheapest but they pack them very, very well.
 
Looks good, but I agree that you should get the HD's somewhere else (ZZF is good). Newegg doesn't package them correctly. Definitely get the eVGA for a GPU; the extra $70 pays for a lifetime warrenty and great quality. I'd also change the PSU to this one.
