I just looked at his feedback xD 'No item received, no communication at all, steer clear of this one!'

actually i think ill give it a miss, the one feedback there is bad, and he doesn't say much about why he's selling it or anything, and most of the pics are off the internet not his actual computer. lol f that

I'll put it on here incase anyone else has some input :)

This is the scorptec system:

CPU - Intel - BX80623I52500K
MOBO - ASROCK - Z68-EXTREME3-GEN3
MEMORY - Corsair Micro - CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B
HDD - Corsair Micro - CSSD-F60GB3A-BK
CASE - Cooler Master - RC-922M-KKN1
OPTICAL DRIVE - LG - GH22NS70
SOUND CARD - Creative - SBXFI-TITAN-CO
PSU - Antec - TP-750
KEYBOARD - Thermaltake - KB-CHL002AU
HDD #2 - Western Digital - WD10EALX

TOTAL (built and delivered!) $1,387.00.

Theres no graphics card and monitor in there cause I couldn't find a decent monitor on scorptec, and they don't stock the graphics card I want (A 2gb sapphire 6950 with a bios switch unloackable to 6970)

thats a nice system
its up to you but i would change a couple of things ......................
firstly most boards come with pretty good onboard sound ,so i would not bother with a sound card unless
you play a lot of music and even then you prolly wouldnt tell the diff. spud would have a better idea than me on that

and i would not get a ati/radeon graphics card,i would wait till the new nvidia cards come out
i have had a few radeons before and every one of them is a head fuck with the drivers , i know some ppl loven but i dont
every nvidia card i have just works

Yeah well.. I don't reallllyy want to spend that much. =/ I been lookin around ebay and shit for a second hand gaming system as you can tell by my original post lol. Most of the decent setups are pickup only. Is there like, a shortcut? lol. A type of computer that's decent, and you can just pop a good video card in it and wallah!? :D

Scumbag - iif you anomvoltz has a webcam, you could supervise the build via skype or similar. It'll give anomvoltz some hands on experience, and save you both a trip.
