I built all the stuff separately from it on newegg and it would be over $1,100 for it all for me to build it myself. I could have this in my house by july if I work the hours I would like after fuel and car insurance + minor expenses.

Anytime bro!

I'd say go ahead to ibuypower.com or cyberpowerpc.com and make the same computer, but with an i7. huge step up from i5, it has hyperthreading :D

I agree, and also, maybe add a bit of a better GPU, get atleast the 250.

I'm gonna get the 250, but i'm not gonna get the i7; too much for now. I can't spend under $1,000 and get the i7 with this setup. They don't even have this comp on ibuypower's website anymore.

as long as it gets u playing BC2 i say go for it. looks like a nice pc to me

nice, its Motherboard SLI? (kind of important for me lol)

I'm looking to buy a new computer by then end of the summer... already got the new 23" 1080P LED 5million:1 contrast ratio monitor, just need the system to play all my games on max settings in full HD.
I'm looking at the following specs:
Intel i7 (or i9 if cheaper ones are released by then)
6Gb or 8gb ddr3 ram
ati hd5870 or nvidia 470
x-fi fatality soundcard
1.5Tb hdd
prefer an Asus lga1366 socket mobo to support i7/i9 and 24gb ram, with dual and quad GPU support (even though i may not get more than one card - doesnt hurt to have the extra PCIe slots for a usb3.0 card or whatever)
if you have any suggestions please PM me, otherwise i wont prob see this thread in a while

Crimson.. get the best computer you can afford.. that will be good enough if you can play BC2.

could not have said it better myself... well i did actually about 2 posts up sorry i didnt talk to u in TS earlier, for some reason my mic wasnt working right on TS. hope ur eye gets better. but i can understand why u would need an excuse to avoid me in game. i wouldnt want to go up against my awesome ninja skills either j/k i luv u

That's my plan

No, sadly no sli
But the card slot is a PCIe 2.0 x16, so just about any card will work with it; eventually i'll get the GTX 480 or 470

Check out this i7 under $1000 and see if you can play with the configs to get it what you want:

Or this one:

I've never seen anyone able to beat Cyberpower on complete system prices.
