Building This New Rig.

[Barney Fife]

I'm building this new rig from the scratch for a friend of mine. I got everything in order including account number except hit ENTER.
Please for those of you out there familiar with SLI take a look at it and tell me what you think as far as quality and prices go and help me with links that you think I may get some for cheap (Never mind I have been to Newegg.com).
She is still thinking about going dual or just sticking with X1800 XT and just get one since SLI boards lack space and dual cards will occupy most of the board and over take PCI slots.

Here I go.

She does have 600W PSU and SB sound card she gonna recycle.
Total came up to $2132.87 that's without the GPU and if she decides to go with the X1800 XT 512MB OC with 750MHz core (Not showing soldout) http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1647372&CatId=1826 which I like better than the 7800GTX 512MB its gonna cost her $599.00 (Before rebate) Total comes down to $ 2731.87 plus $56.27 shipping = $2788.15.

So there you are what do you think?

PS. She is a BF2, FEAR, Doom3 and Q4 MP gamer (Sorry Not Halfliver Hate that bitch but I told her you guys would understand). She would love not to change PCs soon, at least not the next 5-7 years. OK maybe CPU but that's it. And even that I heard you can easily OC 64 4000+ AMD to like 2.6-2.8 with stock cooling not sure though.
Whats do you think?

Thanks In Advance.

MOBO : Good
CASE : Comes down to taste
HDD COOLER : The HDD is a Seagate so that's ok too
PC BLING BLING : Down to taste
RAM : Yes, compatible and more than enough
HDD : Very good and OMFG price :O
WIN XP : Personally, I wouldn't do it and get an older version (much more cheaper, sometimes even 120$ cheaper) or just get a pirate version
CPU : Yes, compatible and more than enough
COOLER : Yes, compatible, but make sure you've got enough electricity
MONITOR : Comes down to taste
DRIVE : It's fine, but the colour difference?
DRIVE 2 : Not exactly necessary. Maybe put in an ashtray or a coffee machine lol

OK thanks Beerdude the DVD/CD Writer combo also has a black front panel to match black colored PCs.
The case had so much positive review that's why I choose for her.
Lol you like the HDD price? me too.
For the OS I think you have a point there.
I choose the second CDROM in case first one fails and I have to send it back by mail and wait and wait so just for a backup besides its only like $19.95 something like that. Big deal eh.
