interesting component choices.

Onboard video?


Have fun! new pc stuff is awesome
 
I would suggest a PSU with more watts if you are using a top of the line video card. I'm getting a 600W just to support my new vid card since 250W is just not going to cut it.
 
for those who are wondering, yes, im going with onboard video.

keep in mind that im gonna mostly be working with it for 8hours a day, and CS:Source is about the newest game I play....working for a telecom company taking calls at home (we boot into a DVD Linux Environment) so it should be fine for now...im gonna do a few upgrades in a few months, still need to buy a desk, chair, keyboard, mouse (my Logitech G5 is getting old :P), and a spearker set.
