I think you could take care of that on your own and in private.?
To be honest the difference between the 2 processors was about $1000.00.? The overclocking was from the factory and not me screwing around with bios or applications.? To gain speed of 2 to 13% on some applications, it just wasn't worth the money.? In a year or so it'll be alot cheaper and probably slower than the next one being made.? It is amazing what comes out w/i weeks of each other.? ?

Well, in an ideal world... The ideal being that my knowledge of computers surpassed 'ample,' at best. If I risked that and the thing blew up, I'd be fucked because I'd have no cover. But aye... If I could, don't doubt that I would.
Anyway, I decided to go with the second one that I posted, the ?900 one. Cheers for all of your help guys, and as promised...
(Mostly because I can, and I enjoy abusing power for my own selfish ends).

What do you actually plan to use the computer for? Just about everything in either of those is very nearly top of the line stuff
Oh, you know, a bit of this, bit of that... A fair amount of downloading, streaming, watching and burning videos and the like, seeing as I don't have access to the best that the television can offer right now. I haven't been into my gaming of late, being that my laptop has been having trouble just running the most basic of videos, but that will change once I have a desktop capable of letting me bash out a decent gaming session... So I want a computer that's going to be capable. Obviously I don't want a total beast of a supercomputer, hence the budget, but I want a system that's around about the current pace.
Right now I'm leaning towards this,

so I guess that my main question now is whether I would be getting value for money?
Cheers guys.

I'd swap the graphics card for a nVidia GeForce 8800GTX,
if
it fits your budget (and you are a gaming guy waiting for Crysis
), but like Timothy said, everything else is pretty much top of the line and it's really unnecessary (4GB RAM?) unless you're a serious gamer or a professional designer.
I love my 8800gtx, best card I've ever owned.

Putting one together really isn't that hard. Me and my dad did it and we never done it before. The part to be most careful with is the processor. I don't know about intel but the newer amd's have the heat spreaders so damaging the chip isn't that easy to do anymore. One important thing to remember, when mounting the motherboard in the case DO NOT forget the motherobard rises. If you screw the board in directly to the back of the case you'll fry the board.

where one is running a program with XP, another with Vista, both with 2 gig of RAM. The Vista machine crashes constantly. He says that to be safe with Vista you need that 4 Gig, which is just fucking ridiculous for an operating system.
He's also lying through his fucking teeth. Sorry man, but I'm a professional designer who works with some SERIOUSLY heavy graphics .... and Vista is solid as a rock. Nothing has been a problem. I used XP for a few years, and I've been using Vista for many many months and it's solid.
Mac owners and XP purists (who are the same people who slagged XP off when 2000 was still the geeks choice), are just taking the stories and spinning them.
Every time a new MS OS comes out, it gets the shit kicked out of it by fanboys, geeks, and media frenzy.
I love the Mac, and I had no problems with XP. So I'm not biased. But I like Vista. It's solid, feature rich, and well designed. Ignore the haters.
While I try to catch one of the onsite boys when they're actually in the office, can I ask what a designer working with heavy graphics is doing on a PC?
I deal with a lot of different companies in my job and every single one of them bar none runs their graphics department on Macs. I'm just kinda curious as to why you prefer the PC?
And Spirit Dave is conspicuosly quiet ...
