PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: Have used Intel in the past but am not a fanboy. Also, used seagate in the past buy WD Cavier black seems to review well.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: In Iraq, dunno at the moment
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Cool, quiet pc, possibly an aftermarket cooler if it fits in case on mob without obstructing gpu or mem slots. Got HD4850 gpu, but thinking of 4770s in crossfire for 220$. Not sure how well 4850s in crossfire are value/performance wise compare to 4770s. Might get new speakers and monitor. Also, my other options include the e7400.
