Im fine with having a sponsored guide, but what's the point of a "budget" system when parts are put in that preform worse than cheaper parts? This Video Card would be faster than the 7900gt 512mb that was listed. From that last few reviews about video cards [H] has been stating that Ati has better image quality, wouldn't this make an even better choice then? It also seems that overpriced ram was also chosen, there is ram with the exact same specs for almost $80 cheaper. It just seems you went all out on some stuff, and then just skimped on the processor. Im all for Ocing, but if your spending $280 on ram and $200 on a mobo, why spend $150 on a processor when you could spend less on the other 2 and more on the processor and gain greater Oc results.

Btw some of the prices listed are off by $10, I dont know if newegg raised the price hopeing to make some extra cash or just normal inflation but it seems odd.

Just my thoughts.
 
I know its supposed to be a 'guide', it allows for variations. But I can understand what your talking about, anytime anyone has talking about high-quality textures, they say ATI is better.

I wouldn't mind hearing multiple opinions on the guide, like 'i'd like to use sli' or 'I want to have an HTPC'. What kind of components would come with that (like 'extra items or sometihng').
