8500 graphics?? If your wanting this for future DX10 releases please don't waste your money, buy an 8800 320mb at least. The 8600 is blown away by te likes of the 1950pro

i agree. i made that mistake. and it also runs damn hot too.

don't forget to get a decent branded PSU, maybe consider a different HSF to the stock on the CPU (presuming you are getting retail - if you are getting OEM you'll need to anyhow), and let us know how you get on. Are you going for SATA connections? Also, what RAM are you thinking of? There's tons to choose from. If you need help, just let us know what you want the machine for and how likely you are to want to overclock in the future etc, and I'm sure one of these kind gents will give you some advice.

Otherwise, I rate your computer as 5

i will go with the 8600 for now as its only my start off graphoc card then i will get the 8800gts. the kepboard i have choosen is the:
Saitek Eclipse 2 Illuminated Keyboard and th mouse: Microsoft HABU 2000dpi Gaming Mouse, the memory is OCZ 2GB of 7400ghz, i will get sata connectors

A note pon your keyboard, got the Sitek illuminated Gamers jobbie for my bro.

As it was illuminated he was hoping to use it the dark to play games, if you are wnting to to do the same, I wouldn't get this keyboard.

It has avery good features:

Good keys
An extra programmable pad which is very good.

However the, keys are illuminated, but only around the edges, in the dark u can't see what is on each key! So it while it looks pretty its not very useful Their gamers mouse is superb tho

His point being this is over a month old. So..... things could have changed.

Oh the 8500, why?

Ditch it, if you're a gamer.
