i see micro center links do you have a micro center you can drive too?

i'd do something like this. if you really want to spend $1500 you can get a 670, 7970. bigger ssd.

[jonjonjon]

do you want to spend all $1500 even if say a $1100 or $1200 computer would satisfy your needs? you say creat video dvd's. do you use any programs that would make use of the i7's hyperthreading?

 

[alpha615]

just upto 1500, if it is less then its even better. I have a hd camera recorder and i would like to make dvd's out the recording that I make.
