I'm a college grad and I seriously can't answer nearly half the questions.

Jeff Foxworthy is the host? :rolleye...

It's a good deal for a fancy paperweight, anyway!

My only concern is that the 520W PSU will power the system when I decide to upgrade to SLI, add a 2nd hard drive and a 2nd CD drive. I doubt you would have recommended it if it werent...

Dell

I've owned Dells for over 10 years and not once have I had a problem that they didnt fix quickly. I must say that I am very satisfied with their performance. Maybe I've just been lucky. :P
