smnoamls · **Memory**: 4gb OCZ 4-4-4-12

I like the way you already put it in the specs

But all in all great machine.
not over powered and over priced.
I would be happy to have that rig.

Just find the Thermaltake V9 Black Edition $83 bucks

Windows 7 OEM 64 bit Professional ]$139 bucks

Accurate the same, but much cheaper!

Thats pretty good build. If you can find CM HAF922 for around the same price, then go with it. That mobo is good, can also look at Asus P7P55D, MSI P55-GD65. For PSU I suggest you get Crosair TX-750 over OCZ (hope its in that price range)

Do you really need a 33" monitor as well? If you want to put more money into your chassis, then I would suggest getting a couple of cheaper 24's to link together in Eyefinity!!!! Saves more money, and in my opinion looks way better.

Yeah thats a good point, 24 inch is enough. You could get better parts for computer with that money. And for Eyefinity, its quite demanding, so with 5850 you will not be able to max out future titles...

Several issues.
1) i suggest, if you can afford it, go i7core (quadcore) with hyper threading.
2) win 7 is massily multithreaded, and so it will use all 8 threads at once and be very happy.
3) I see no reason for you to use 64bit os, you are only loading 4 gigs of ram.
unless you are going to run 64 bit apps, stick with 32bit, you will be much happier.
4) for gaming, you may want to consider a smaller monitor. It takes an awful lot of graphics power to run that big a monitor. It will severely lower you frames per second in all games.

his graphics card also has 1GB so not using a 64bit OS would take away quite a bit of performance.

also im not sure what country the op is in, but those prices look abit on the pricy side (to me anyway, it might just be that my country has finally got competative rices, i do however doubt that). i would do some shopping around.

Um.. Isn't that a 33" TV and NOT A MONITOR?
