Only problem is that she is really non-technical. At least as far as hardware and overclocking are concerned.

Oh, and if you don't go by ratings and reviews, what do you go by? Just wondering.
experience from people that KNOW what they're doing...lol.

Oh, and I've screwed up enough times to know.

Now if I just put all the new parts into my case, and the old ones in her case... Hmm...

Heh, I wouldn't actually do that though.

Oh crud!

I just realized that the GIGABYTE DS3 doesn't have FireWire! Oh man, my sister would have killed me if I made her a computer that didn't support cameras because that's her favorite hobby.

Then I wouldn't be able to use the ports in the front of the case. Plus it would take up a PCI slot. I'm going to buy a wireless card after I get the computer, plus maybe a sound card if the onboard is too horrible to deal with. And I want the better RAID controller too.

Well I'm going to go order it now. I'll check here before I hit that submit button though.
