I am basically building a new system from scratch all im going to keep is my cd burner and my monitor. I shopped around ww.pricewatch.com. I also looked at reviews at www.bizrate.com and www.resellerratings.com. I Looked at reviews at some sites like toms hardware and geek.com and this is what ive found.Im trying to keep costs as low as possible without killing to much speed. Also would the aluminum case, artic silver 3 and compoents like that be worth it? Assuming i would be overcloking everything videocard,ram,cpu or is it better to spend the money on higher rated compnonents like a 1900+ instead of a 1700+.The system is going to be geared towards gaming thanks in advance!
