Double the ram and faster ram

And on the HDD, $20 more and you could have gotten double the capacity and better performance.

also if you are not using this as a business computer or anything save yourself $100 and use windows 7 RC for a while, its good until march.

Do you have a link for getting windows 7? I would have to pay for Windows when it is finally released.

 

[Outlander_04]

google windows 7 download . Only get it from microsoft . From a torrent is not safe.

Replace the aging and already phased out e8400 with the just as powerful and better at multitasking

Phenom X3 720 be + asus mb combo $215
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.203011
That saves you $70 + and is better

It also has integrated gfx that are about the same as the gfx card so save more money by not buying that either .
You save another $50

You wont need such a powerful psu either . 500 - 550 watt will be plenty so you can save more there too

Your case is nice but expensive .

recycle some of the savings back into 2 x 2 gig of low latency DDR3 ram
