lol why 3.6? the stock speed of 1.8 can already run all games on high lol, get a 8800GTS dude you will regret it, your already spending 300bucks.

Why so much on the RAM? Are looking for GKX?

 

[tubnotub1]

Looks like one nice, solid rig there slade. Im not sure how much of a gamer you are, so this suggestions might not apply, however, if you use your computer for anything other then gaming you might consider a 7200 rpm 80gig+ storage hdd. I know when I install all of my games it takes upwards of 50+gigs.... but other then the relativly small storage space, its a nice rig, will last you a good while! (and nice ram!)

Well, its either this http://www.tankguys.biz/ddr2-3338-p-1692.html or the G.Skill

I went with the cheapest memory and it's GKX

 

[Skeegle]

Slade, you, sir, are an Ebay MASTER! Teach me.... seriously you pretty much got all your stuff for like 30% off NewEgg prices, which are dirt cheap for most e-stores.
