Hey all I got myself a new computer and built it by myself from scratch.
This is all of what I bought http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWi...Number=13934067
I got a mouse keyboard and monitor from an old hp pavillion my mom had. Interested in pics? here they are http://s36.photobucket.com/albums/e35/amas...mputer%20Build/

My most taxing games atm are UT III and Company of Heroes. I have not tested UT III ingame yet but COH at highest settings with 4x AA never drops below 45 FPS

I have OCed the proc to 3.2 gigs and the gfx is 700/1728/1000

Roani, i stil think the GTX295 might be a pretty bad investment, especially for future games. On ultra-high settings it is already losing to the 6 month-older Radeon 4870X2. The smaller amount of video memory and nVidia's inferior memory management seems to blame. Also, history has shown that dual GPU solutions tend to be outperformed by newer and usually cheaper single GPU solutions as time passes and newer games are released. I think your best option at the moment is a Radeon 4870 with 1 GB. Or if you can find a good deal on a GTX280, that would be fine too. Their price has fallen significantly since the introduction of the slightly faster GTX285.
