Ok i forgot about the sound card. Creative just release some new ones.
Here you go
There kinda pricy. I have this one....
Mine
Its pretty cheap but works for what i need it for. Some come with accesories like remotes and other sh*t. I don't really need any of that. But it depends on what you need.
Oh and about the processors. Here is a review and benchmarking of the FX57...
FX57
If you like the idea of the dual core processors then go with this one...
AMD Athlon X2 4800
The review and benchmarking is here...
X2 4800
You will see a little speed decrease in some games and increase in others. But it is up to you what to get. The FX57 is better for gaming and the X2 4800 is better for multitasking like encoding videos and music and other sh*t like editing and such.
As for puting it together when you get it if you decide to go this route. Its easy enough that you can get on vent or aim with someone and they can guide you through the process. I could even do it. Or if someone you know that lives near you can help you. I can help on vent or aim if you need me too.
Motherboard Update
The motherboard I mentioned in my previous post isn't necessarily the one you should get. I believe shadow has a FX53 processor. Maybe he can provide some input on which motherboard would work best with the FX57 and X2 4800 processors.
Oh and I just noticed the computers you linked to weren't bundled. You could spend the rest of the money on a huge ass lcd monitor. At work (office depot) we have some 27" lcds for $799.99. That would be pimp.
Oh and I just noticed this case....
Case
Imserious i heard they were almost sold out you might wanna grab one while you can. LOL jk
Anyways I'm tired and I have spent like an hour on these two posts. I'm going to sleep.
