| yeah, with the new line coming out from AMD and the new mid and low-end cards coming out from Nvidia, it's a good idea to wait a bit before getting a graphics card. Even if the AMD "launch" doesn't drive down prices, NVidia's new cards will. They're set to be launched at very good prices. |

| as for what I'd back up, while I do use my computer for gaming, I use it for many other tasks as well. (that's why I didn't just buy a console). For example, I do a fair amount of video editing, which takes up a lot of space, and I wouldn't want to lose it to a hard drive failure. Sure, it's not pro... |

| 2: that's what everyone says. Then their hard drive fails or gets corrupted and they lose everything. I'd strongly reccomend that you back up your data somehow. Carbonite.com is another option, but it's not as good as a RAID 1 or 5 backup. Couldn't resist commenting, now that you've said it again..... |

| yeah, that looks good. The 8600 hasn't come out yet, but according to articles I've read, it should be fairly cheap, like around $150. That's amazing for a mid-range DX10 graphics card. the E4300 CPU looks good, according to what I've read, it overclocks to amazing speeds, so go for it. It's like th... |

| ok, I looked around for some components for you for your computer. One thing to note: Intel is planning a price cut on their Core2Duo CPU's in about a month or so, so don't buy your CPU until that happens. I found two very nice motherboards, both very overclocking-friendly on newegg. Here they are: ... |

| St33med: you know, Intel does not currently make any graphics cards. I think that you mean that intel grapihcs are bad, as they have not made an acutal graphics card for quite a few years. They're working on one, but currently, there are no Intel graphics cards up for sale. Also, why are you promot... |

| hmm, really? While consoles can be nice, they are rather one-purpose. I'd rather make a nice high-end computer that can play games as well as surf the web, edit movies, and other activities, than get a console and make a low-end computer that can only surf the web well. I've always liked using a com... |

| yeah, being under the influence of something does scare me. I've never had any alcohol(other than, say, vanilla extract baked in cookies and such). Even when I used to go to a catholic church when I was younger, I refused to have any wine on my first communion, even the little samples that they gave... |

I said: Unknown: if you name your computer budget, I can spec out a computer for you, with a price list for each component and websites where you can get the items for the prices I quote. I'm always watchi... |
