I'm going to laugh when in 4 months your system will be outdated and be worth like half of what you payed for it, lol.

How bout some more helpful advice like...

First of all you're lopsided on the CPU to GPU. Depending on what you want to do of course.

If it's gaming then the i7-930 will be more than adequate.

1000W is excessive even for 2 5870s

Your RAM is DDR-1333 CAS 9. You're better off going 1333 CAS 7 or 1600 CAS 9. Obviously the best would be 1600 CAS 7

I'd get a SSD over a Raptor any day of the week personally.

Unless you're an audiophile, the onboard HD Audio of the motherboard is more than adequate for good 7.1

thanks, i will take that into consideration

i was also lookin into a pre-built pc wich is

So here's the problem with a prebuilt

So little information

Who makes the PSU? How many rails does it have? Is it reliable?

Seagate hard drives? Are they the 7200.11 hard drvies that had an extremely high failure rate?

Also 295s are good but they arent DX11

You can build a faster, more reliable PC yourself for cheaper.

Just post your budget, intended use(ie HTPC, gaming, video editing, general use) and what you don't need (keyboard, mouse, monitor etc)

And I'll put together a build for you from newegg links and you can kinda hunt around on your websites for the same items

Does that sound good?
