So I sold my setup:

Lian Li PC-A77B
ABS Tagan BZ 700Watt modular
Intel Q9450 w/ Swiftech GTZ
Asus P5Q
2x2GB DDR2 1066 Patriot Memory
OCZ core 64GB SSD
Velociraptor 300gb
320gb Seagate 7200.10
Visiontek 4870x2 w/ EK FC block
ASUS Xonar 7.1Windows Vista 64bit
Swiftech MCP355 w/ Petra's top
Feser 480 x-changer

Sold this for $3500 to a friends friend, since he didn't know how to set one up, was already built no waiting, and knows it works.

So now that I have no computer, this will be my new build:
No liquid cooling this time:D, Pain in the ass to setup.

Case: Antec 900 w/ 2x Yates 120mmx20mm intakes w/ steel mesh filter in closet collecting dust

cpu: Q9550 w/ Xigmatek S1283, $356

motherboard: Asus P5Q W/ Xigmatek Porter for NB $144

GPU: Sapphire 4870 1GB w/ Zalman VF1000 & IandH RAM/Mosfet $362 (Thanks jtg1993)

PSU: Tagan BZ 700Watt Modular, have another in closet.

RAM: Patriot DDR2 800 2x2gb, In closet with Antec 900

HDD: Seagate 640gb 32mb Cache $80

Dvd/CD-RW+- LG in closet with the other items.

OS: 64Bit Home premium, free from school.

Estimated Price: $942 Before Rebates. $917 After rebates.

Anythings you would change? or is it okay before I hit the order button in 2 days.
 
the 4870X2 wouldn't fit in the Antec 900. Also with the current games I play, I found the 4870X2 a waste of money after I had purchased it, plus I only bought it because I had a nice hook up price from a friend from frys:D.
 
Don't get the 4870 512MB, get the 4870 1GB its about $40 more and faster.
 
Exact same size and if you have two sitting next to each other you cant tell the difference besides reading the label.
 
I haven't spent it yet. Will probably go towards my car. Most of my friends race, I race too but mine is the only stock one and it still kicks ass. I might get new intakes, bigger turbo, headers, and other things, I still have a lot to spend since my parents pay for my college:D. My ride is a black 2006 Subaru WRX STI. Had this car for a little bit over 2 years.
 
When I turned 16 my parents said they would buy me a car up to $18,000. So they paid that $18,000 for the car and I paid for the rest which was about $10,000. yea the 4870 1gb is like a $30 difference vs the 512mb. Oh well.
