Guess who's building a new computer...

Check it out guys. I'm going to be ordering parts in a few days.

(Case list moved to the last post)

I value your opinions, so if you see something that can be upgraded while keeping a price of under $450 (before shipping) I'm all ears.

Looks good. I'm guessing you're doing a budget build?

Looks good to me mate. The only thing I would change is upgrading the 9500GT to a 9600GT/GSO.
They have an open box MSI 9600GT:

or the 1GB version of the eVGA card you listed:

What are you going to do with the 4 kits of RAM? or was that label meant for the case fan?

I wouldn't use that case, I would try to find one that's a bit bigger, I know it's budget, but the larger the case, the more upgrade options later on. That's just me though. The first computer I built was in an old server case. My current system is in a CMstacker 810. Otherwise that setup looks great!! I like the MSI boards, always served me well!! I'm a fan of the ATI cards but I have herd good things about either of the cards mentioned.

Why is this in technology talk? :oP

[SgtM]

Yeah, kind of a budget build, but I wanted a dual core, and a decent vid card for a couple of games (ARMA and Joint Operations). I'm not trying to pull off CRYSIS or anything. I forgot to edit the RAM, I'm going with 4 gigs not 16. I with I had upwards of $1000 to build with. That open box 9600 looks good, but newegg is saying it's deactivated. The 1 gig card is a special this weekend only, and I'm probably not ordering until next weekend. Technology talk.. I dunno. I guess I could move it to the chatterbox.

computers are technology

If you can afford it, a 512MB 9600GT and maybe this Case/PSU instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156062

Guess we should get rid of the rest of the threads then :oP

[SgtM]

Parts ordered and shipped from newegg today. Look for build thread soon. I probably won't mad the case, but I got UV blue SATA cables, so I might try and do some lighting on the inside just to give an ambient glow.
