Which came to $485 after shipping and taxes. I am so annoyed that NewEgg now has taxes in NYS because now the prices are near the same as in store retail and sometimes higher. Anything I can fix, change, or make better? Im willing to max out at $520 total after shipping and taxes.. Anything I can cheap down so I can add a video card rather than use an onboard..
get this case

I also suggest the HD3850. But get the PowerColor, its heatsink design looks quieter.

I forgot this was linux

In that case, a 8800GS will do fine.

Looks solid, tho I say as someone else said, the CPU cooler is overkill, stick with the stock cooler.

Edit: Get the Asus 8800GT instead, same price.
