looks good to me, makes me envious lol. Not a gamer, but still a better card than I have. What are you then that you get that nice of a computer?

I did this for my wife. She grew up in Moscow, Russia. She is a programer.

thanks, I have been watching legit reviews for about nine months. The forums have been nothing but helpful. All of the people that have made posts about the badaxe2 motherboard have been super helpful!

Not a gamer? That was my reaction also. My only tweek ;) would be... you should have got the 7900GS and saved a little money. Newegg has got one for $159US less $15 rebate... a steal. I have got my harddrives in raid 1 so that I won't loss my MP3's, digital photos and my web site stuff if I get a failure which I have had four in ~ 24 years.

For photos you can use this link and paste the "img /img" file in your message.

Your right, I should have gone that route. I bought the card for the 512 of memory and for video playback. I also wanted a very quiet card for her. My next build this fall will be more designed for her needs. I'm just learning. Having a lot of fun in the mean time.

will try to put up a picture soon. I do have friends that come over and play games. They don't say much about the computer. They never built one before. I think they are missing out on all the fun.
