Hi there!

OK, this is the computer offer I think I'll go for.

Big case, so I can fit in my HD's and put in dual graphics cards later, if I want. Big power supply. New processor with good sound card built in. Newest Radeon graphics card with HDMI out. 6 gigs of the fastest ram. Velociraptor HD for OS and applications that need speed, 1tb hd for storing stuff. Internal bluray burner. Windows 7 home edition.

I don't know about the lcd, might get a 24 inches one.

What do you guys think? I promise (almost) that I wont ask you again!

Thx a million!

You don't need a 1000 Watt power supply unless you plan to go Crossfire someday. I just ordered a new PC today too. The tech on the phone told me any more than 750 is wasted unless I planned to go SLI or Crossfire. I don't, and I won't change my mind either.

I think I would change the hard drive. Some of these newer drives are pretty fast.

Thx for your reply!

I actually considr going SLI/Crossfire one day, so I'll get that supply anyway. I also plan to chuck about five HD's in there, so might need the power...
