Thread: About to start ordering!

For a new rig....I posted in our clan forum a couple weeks ago and Hocus helped me out and posted a list of links and prices. I plan on ordering Monday, and know how quickly prices can change, so wanted to get some ideas.

I'm wanting to spend around 1k, give or take a little.

Dude, I could build you a MONSTER machine for 1k. Your nutts. Win some prize money at an event?

Haha, no but I've been winning alot more prize money working the last 6 months straight out here in Cali,lol.

Finally coming home next week to do nothing but ride and play CS for the next few months! :9

That'll be a nice break.

Here's the list Hocus came up with a couple weeks ago. But I noticed some of the instant rebates weren't available anymore on certain items. Want some help on what I can replace or add, if anything.

this is what i'd build for under 1k. I went with a c2d rather than quad cause i dont think you're an overclock guru an this cpu is power efficient. also 8800gt cause it's cheap and popular, ill let spaz weigh in.

I couldn't view the link for some reason yung, is it in the public wish list section?
