And it is a hard one to pick, really all i ever use my 360 for is GTA4, H3 and to stream media to my big screen.
Well, if you play Halo 3 often, you might miss it. The FX-57 is an awesome piece of nostalgia, though.

Go for it man, I didn't get near that for my 360 + a few games.

I got an MSI AM2/AGP board with a gig of 667 ram, an AGP 6600/256mb, and the HDD,CPU and PSU you see in my sig.

Did I get ripped, or are you getting a good deal?

I think it's the second one.

Yes, Id say you got a decent deal, and also, I figure that "hey, ive had the elite console for about 2 years or so." So its had a long run coming. And they are getting dirt cheap too. Soon id imagine that Microsoft and Sony (if they don't get flushed) will have a new console by next year.

EDIT: once i get the system im going to make a build log, and also to see how much i can push the rig. And im going to have a couple of video cards avail too me. 2x 8800 GTX's, 2x 7600 GTs and 1x ATI 3870X2== So im hyped, and going to have an interesting weekend.... The swap will be from a Quadcore 6700. To my AMD 939 Rig. (For now)...
