THIS IS GOING TO BE MY VERY FIRST BUILD. I HAVE NOT YET PURCHASED THESE PRODUCTS YET, BUT I WILL IN A FEW HOURS. JUST PUTTING THIS OUT THERE FOR ANY LAST MINUTE TOUCH-UPS FROM THE EXPERTS/YOU GUYS OR GALS.

DONT MIND SPENDING THE EXTRA MONEY, ALTHOUGH I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A CHEAPER MORE EFFICIENT RIG. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS? HOW DO YOU THINK I WILL DO WITH SOME OF THE NEWER VIDEO GAMES WITH THIS BUILD?

I WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I THINK IT IS A GOOD BUILD, I...... oh, sorry.


Looks solid, but double check whatever wireless card or device you get, because vista 64 bit is very picky about which ones it will work with.

If you happen to be buying this from Newegg, be CERTAIN to check for any and all combo deals! They can really start to add up and save some cash.

You probably would get more help if you posted this in the "Homebuilt Systems" section.

Get two of these instead of the Geforce GTX 260s they have DirectX 10.1 support, cost less, and are amazing in general: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814161265
