    Looks good. All the components look high quality. Evga also has a lifetime warranty on some of their cards.

    The cool thing is you can overclock it and install aftermarket cooling without voiding your warranty. Just curious, what monitor do you plan to buy? I recommend the Dell 2407

    Thumbs up Updates

    Guys sorry...By the way...was just talking to my buddy...I am going to add 2 more items:

    1. Auzentech AuzenTech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS sound card
    2. Edifier S2.1D Super Multimedia Speaker System
    3. I have decided to get the OC2 version of the BFG 8800 GTX
    4. LCD - will be LG 22" or 24" (if exist) - Dell has good deals but I believe the LG is better in quality.

    First, why are you buying a 7.1 DTS Sound Card if you only plan to use a 2.1 setup? That's a waste of money. And as far as the video card, i'd go with EVGA because of their step up and warranty program. If you havent read up on BFG cards, and i know because i own one, the video card has a lifetime warranty, but the fan only has a 1 yr warranty, and if you replace the fan yourself instead of sending it in when it dies, you void the warranty on the card. Just my .02.

    sif there are 2.1 sundcards. if you buy a soundcard you don't buy it because your onboard doesn't have enough speaker support but becasue of better soundquality.
