Re: building a computer, need experts to confirm
Do you read selectively or something? Buy from Newegg, not Amazon.

 Newegg is:Cheaper (because amazon know that if you're looking on amazon for computer bits then you don't know much about computers thus won't spot being ripped off) More consistant delivery quality/speed More consistant and probably better customer support Newegg has trillions of bundles, special offers, 10% off codes etc Quote:

Re: building a computer, need experts to confirm
hehe i know people will tell me to go newegg, the thing is that i never heard of it and i checked it out and dunno how to browse it, but that is a lame excuse for getting ripped off. i know that i will end up buying from newegg, but since amazon is more familiar, i posted with it.
by the way, you are a great help, abc, if i haven't posted on this forum i would have dived headfirst into this computer making thingy and end up wasting hundred of bucks one question, if u buy all from newegg at once, do the shipping cost stack or is it one payment?

Re: building a computer, need experts to confirm
No problem.
I know on some items amazon may come close, but the deals & rebates available from newegg make it cheaper - and even if on the odd occasion it isn't I'd rather buy computer parts from a computer store not a book shop. R.E. shipping, I have no idea because I don't live in the US thus haven't used newegg. I can confidently recommend newegg however, because it's the website everyone on computer forums etc uses.

Re: building a computer, need experts to confirm
Hope my advice isn't too late...
Change the i7 & 5770 for a i5 & 5850. You will get far better performance in games. The 5770 dominates most games but begins to struggle with games like Bad Company 2, GTA4 & Crysis. If you really want an i7, you could get the i7 860 @ 2.8 GHz. It uses the same (cheaper) socket as the i5 unlike the i7 930. Not recommended if you only plan to play games though. As for a monitor, get the Asus VH242H. Cheapest 24" monitor (less than $200) that is actually decent. Gaming mice are overrated. I pwn people fine with my $20 Logitech mouse.
