Any way to not sacrifice performance but save $$. I may order this soon, but the $$$ is really borderline. I would like around $1000.. Also i need a cheap DVD drive with all this, any suggestions?

One suggestion to you, and everyone else out there that asks this question on there specified machine.

Could you please, PRETTY PLEASE not copy all the info directly from your shopping cart. ITS CONFUSING.

I got a headache just reading that.


Otherwise, that looks like a awesome comp, fire away if you have the money.

Do NOT even think about putting on the 6 month plan unless you are 100% sure you can get it paid off in 6 months. Otherwise you will paying around 20% interest retrodated to day 1 on the ENTIRE balance after 6 months. Which will be a couple hundred probably. You might be better off saving your cash until you can pay for it outright.

If I can't pay in 6 months my dad will back me up in $$$, the only problem is being in debt to him is equal to hell.

looks good. I am about to go with a very similar build. If you are tight on cash drop to a single core opteron then when you get the extra cash upgrade. Its up to you though
