[Not too sure about network card]

Comes to about $1315, good gaming station (and anything else you want to do)

aright sounds good but i have a couple disagreements...the HD will most likely be seagate's 500gb 7200rpm cause its less money and i hear WD's breaks quite often...also i need 2 HDs(1 for backup and it can be small)... and the wireless card...i need a very good wireless card..and also are there any DVD drives that play DVD and blu-ray?...and i need a good case...im thinkin of this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146029

any other input from other people is great

Well feel free to add any HDDs or take away from the list :lol: just as long as they are SATA, I'm not too keen on network cards, I chose one that had decent reviews. And I'm sure there are Blu-ray players but last time I read they were in the thousands.... so.... yeah.

Case is up to you really, I'm usually good with any cheap case that has a decent airflow, just remember to buy a GOOD PSU and not use one that comes bundled with the case.

965P mobo, not 965G

I know I know... im fixing it now 8)

 

[skyguy]

LOL, gotcha on 2 threads


I get a cookie

now's your turn though... Find him a good wireless network adapter. I wouldn't much about those since my network is all wired

 

[skyguy]

Mine's wired too LOL.

Although I did help a buddy with a good Linksys wireless. Nothing hardcore, just to run 2 setups at home.

damn peoples with damn wireless networks well anyway... that card *seems* to be able to do the trick...
