That hard drive is too expensive, you can easily find a 320+ for that price on newegg.

Switch the 8800gts to an 8800gt, they're more powerful and around the same price or cheaper.

Any thoughts on the cooling system? Or is the one that comes with the box fine?

It will be fine unless you have some plans for outrageous overclocking.

But that's exactly what the X2 5000 BE is for. Maybe I can save some money by switching that out for a cheaper X2 4800?

Or should I go for speed and buy a couple fans
I really wanna stay on the $700 budget though. Confused

Personally, I think dual cores are a little overrated, and their price range is a little much Wink

Amd burns up and the one you are using can heat up to 320 F

I suppose that's fair. Although I do think a fan + X2 5000 is better bang for the buck than a pricy dual/quad core.

the black editions dont come with coolers, so you'll need to get an aftermarket cooler, too.

and agu change it or i'll devour your insides.

Bah. Fine. Looks like I'll have to throw out the X2 5000 in favor of a dual/quad core.
I have no idea where to begin, though Confused

That was in my "optional" section
It's one of those things I may or may not add later. And the computer I have now has both, so there Wink

If anything, get a USB floppy drive so that you have one, but it's not directly in your computer all the time.
