Okay, for the paranoia in me, I would like to get one final critique before I press Complete order. I plan on using this system for gaming (crysis, cod4) and some apps like Photoshop. I use 1280*1024 resolutions and plan to OC at least to 3.2GHz btw. I'm trying to go the cheapest route possible, here's the scoop:
PSU:
http://www.buy.com/prod/corsair-520...-atx-power-supply/q/loc/101/203270716.html ($78.49 w/ MIR)

Video Card: (BestBuy instore pickup) BFG 8800 GT OC
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...00+gt&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1190678470708 ($203.09 Including tax)with $100 BB Giftcard I have.

The Rest:
http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=6445012 ($538.33)

Selling old computer: (-$250)
BestBuy Gift Card: (-$100)
Total: ($569.91)
 
video card link says page can't be accessed or no longer exists.
 
Write out what the parts are as they don't show in your link (video card at least).
 
Okay, fixed. Wierd that the link doesn't work anymore. I just used it 3 min ago. Anyways, my local best buy has 4 available. BFG 8800GT OC

still doesn't work. how are you getting the 8800GT so cheap?

edit: nm...i see now that the price is after your gift card deduction.
 
What was wrong with your old thread? :confused:

this will help me keep track of what I've recommended to you so far...

I think im going to stick with the G.Skill though, my friend has some and i love it too. I really appreciate your suggestion. Anything else before I order?

No prob. I have those same sticks, too. In fact, I have two pairs. One can OC to around 425-430, and the other can reach 450 with some tweaking. They should be able to get you to 3.4Ghz, but if not, you won't notice much of a difference with 3.2Ghz.

E6750: 8 × 333 = 2.6Ghz, DDR2-667 << STOCK speeds
E6750: 8 × 400 = 3.2Ghz, DDR2-800 << Easy OC
E6750: 8 × 425 = 3.4Ghz, DDR2-800 << Nice OC
E6750: 8 × 450 = 3.6Ghz, DDR2-900 << Good OC
E6750: 8 × 500 = 4.0Ghz, DDR2-1000 << Great OC

The Ballistix can definately reach DDR2-1000. I have two of these kits as well, and my only gripe with them is the high voltage they require.

BTW, the Ninja isn't easy to install. If you'd like to make it easier to install and somewhat more secure, you could get the Bolt-Thru kit I listed above next to it. It made it much easier to install, imo (pic).

So, everything looks good to me.

Haha, sorry man. self-paranoia along with neat-freakness. What's wrong with me. Just wanted quicker responses so people didn't have to read our convo in my old thread. (Saw you were offline, you've been my only help!)

Okay, so I'm good to go. Thanks! Heading to BestBuy to pick up my $200 8800GT!
