I am going to get a new system, it aint the baddest machine in the world but i only had around $1500 to spend.

Specs:
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked 640MB
EVGA nForce 680i SE SLI
OCZ 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800Mhz Memory
Seagate 250GB 7200 Serial-ATA
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz
550-Watt Ultra-X2 Power Supply
Corsair Nautilus 500 Water-cooling Kit


Total Price with tax and shipping: $1,414.98 Canadian, once the price drops of the 8800GTS ill buy another one and SLI it. Gettin the system tomorrow and putting all the crap together. This will be a huge jump from my X1600 Pro,Pentium D,1GB Memory lol

The price aint bad for canadian thats around $1100-1200 US i think.

Nice, im not a big fan of corsair for wc, I suggest returning it getting a couple swiftech blocks and a Thermochill rad... ... Also be wary of the 550x2, i had some issues with mine.

It's actually around 1350 right now in the US. Still, nice box.

I think the 550 watt is a bit low, but good build otherwise.

Well seeing as how i ordered this stuff yesterday:
Intel Q6600
XFX 650i Mobo
super clocked EVGA 8800GTS 320
exact same ram thats in my pc (in sig)
780W OCZ PSU
160GB Seagate 3GB Sata
and a case for $120

For $1100 US, that's about the same, although i don't know how much that water kit is...

Well i got my new comp and god damn what a diff from my old comp. Went from 1280x1024 2x AA All high at 40 FPS on my old comp to 1600x1200 max AA all high at 170 FPS. Also the Corsair water coolin is actually very nice my comp only runnin at 30 idle and 40 when playin games. Have no problems so far*knock on wood*, played Bioshock too on 1920x1200 no AA, 4x AF on my 24" LCD screen runs at 30-50 FPS and looks VERY nice. Cant wait til Crysis comes out to see what my comp can really do.
