I have been tempted to buy this system but IM not sure if it is a good buy. Can somebody tell me if this a good buy. Here is the link: http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Shopping/ShoppingItem.asp?ItemList=N82E16811133132,N82E16813131517,N82E16814130215,N82E16817103918,N82E16819103514,N82E16820145522,N82E16821103116,N82E16822145064,N82E16827131239,N82E16835106055

What ya' need it for? Gaming? The price looks right I guess. What cha' need a floppy drive for??? I don't like sony burners, firmware is crap. Go for something like a pioneer 109, yes they make black ones too. Is there really a lot of performance difference between a 64 3500+ cpu and a 3400+ ??? Because the price difference is US $100! Good luck. Peace.

Awfully pricey setup... Here's my take: 1. Personally, I would never pay over $100 for a case, especially for one w/o a PSU...I don't care how pretty it is. 2. Do you intend on taking advantage of SLI? If not, there are cheaper boards that are just as good. 3. Video card - arguably the best available right now...but is it worth spending over $350? 4. PSU - 550 watts is overkill 5. CPU - the Winchester has the better memory controller & it's supposedly slightly faster. Go with a 3200+ Winchester OEM CPU (see point # 8) 6. RAM - you're spending WAY too much. You can get 2 x 512MB of PC3200 for less than $90 (CAS 2.5). The premium you're paying for CAS 2 isn't worth it. 7. "What cha' need a floppy drive for???" It's stupid NOT to have a floppy drive. They may not be used very often, but they're cheap & many diagnostics can be (& should be) run from DOS mode from a bootable floppy. Flashing the BIOS is usually done from a floppy as well 8. CPU Cooling fan - if you're not gonna use the stock HSF, there's not much point buying a retail CPU. The moment you mount the Thermaltake, you'll void the 3 yr warranty. Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro
