I should be able to get it cheaper than the subtotal, because I think with my student ID from my school I get a discount... Not really sure how much.

How does everything look?
 
Well, with this system, you should be able to send a man to the moon.... I don't know if it's powerful enough to bring him back, but for under $2000, we can send man after man, they can have a lan party till we build a computer fast enough to bring these guys back!
 
Wow, I really like that case... I like how many fans it has. It will probably be uber loud but thats ok :)

I ended up switching just the cases though, I like the Power Supply I have picked out... Even though that is a great deal, I have been wanting to try out this particular power supply.

Thanks for the case finding though :)
 
Yea sick setup and all but the GTX 285 is not worth it and why cheap out on the case???

I say get the new ATI 5 series or wait till the new GTX 300 cards come out. Your paying $380 for a card that performs almost on par with an ATI 5850 which is $260.....for $380 you can get a 5870 which performs on par with a GTX 295 and better sometimes while also worse in some but only games that support dual-gpu solutions.

Go with an ATI 5 series or wait. As for case, i say like a Cooler Master HAF cases or Storm series since your already spending so much or Antec 900 and up if you like them. Get a good airflow case basically and good quality. I recommend the HAF but i know not everyone like them even though a majority do =)
 
Don't go for the overclocked card. Complete waste of money. Get the vanilla version.

Why get a cheap case? Also recommend you get a higher quality power supply, Rosewill is quite iffy.
