it's overkill more or less, but yeah, build your own computer rather than buying it.

Yeah I agree, but it'll be a long time before I have to upgrade and it'll be well worth it.

Yeah it's pricey, but well worth it and won't have to be upgraded in the future for a while.

Well the thing is, it's probably $100 more when it was done like that though.

Yeah, I actually think if I buy all the parts off newegg and put it together myself I'll save at least $500... I'll try it out later today

Nobody wants to hear me say this...

But you'd be better off building it by hand. But that's just me.

For the price, I think you're getting ganked. Does it come with a good warrenty, at least.

Already got 62 of those .

Btw decided I'm better off building this myself for better parts and a little less cash, so here is my build with newegg parts.

That's more like it.

I'd splurge and get a liquid cooling system too. Unless you have a plan for emphasizing cooling.

Decided to go crazy and put in a GTX 580 after playing Battlefield 3. My logic is that I'm thinking by the time I get all that money I can spare the extra few hundred.
