$2000 build for everything...suggestions, please :)
Anybody willing to help out? A friend wants to build a new computer, and has a 2k budget for everything, and that means monitor/keyboard/mouse/headphones as well I guess. For that kind of money I figured he could probably go i7, but I haven't gone intel in a long time so I'm not sure what's hot. If you wanna just link to newegg parts or builds that would be great (i'll check other sites like zipzoomfly to see if parts are cheaper). Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

Oh, just for the shopping side of it: also check out Google Shopping (or, "Google Product Search", as they call it). It doesn't find everything, but it's certainly extremely helpful.
That way, you can shop for every single part and save!

Can't seem to remember how to get a link to a wishlist, I just attached a pdf of it.
Btw, is there a way to link to one? I think when I tried it wanted me to login to see it..

you could do an I7 rig with a GTX 295 and a nice 24" samsung LCD. Might wanna just get the win7 rc1 and wait til win 7 retail comes out in 4 months and then buy that.

My sig rig is pretty close. I think it might be $2100 (when I bought it (Excluding software)). Prices came down, you can downgrade the GTX295, get a smaller case ETC. Pretty sufficient budget.
Funny how I'm trying to get rid of it..

There's this cool feature here on the forum called Multiquote right next to the quote button...which I see you have figured out. It'll save you douching out the forum with double triple and quadruple posts.
