You could never put your own together at that price. I don't know what's up with this.
Thats what i was thinking too.

In terms of putting together my own, i suppose i could, but the price here would be basically impossible to match as far as i can tell.

and 8GB of RAM is just freaking nuts.

The video card i can update if i want to for an extra couple hundred right off the ebay store, and i would put in a better fan then the stock.

Why is a duel better then quad for gaming? Just higher processor speed or what? I read some reviews and it said the quad extreme was basically the best processor you could buy.

The computer wouldn't be specifically for gaming...i just want something that could run SC2, maybe age of conan, Spore, and sims 3 for example.

Keep the opinons and or ideas coming. Thanks so much everyone.
