| Tweak Minion | The XMS series is over kill, you could get the value ram for 210. |

 Has Absolutely no life | I reccomend one of these SLI boards linky Look into a dual layer burner Seriously the Raptor isn't that great http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144169 120Gig http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144407 320Gig Dual Core http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103562 Two of these in SLI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150104 Ok you cheap bastard only get one of those or two of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150091 look here for a comparison of those cards in BF2. I reccomend Nvidia cards over the ATIs right now because the nvidia cards have more advanced technology therefore are more future proof. And the XMS series rocks for overclocking, i would reccomend getting DDR500 or 550 though so you can really do at it. |

 Dont mess with old school | I'd rather have larger storage rather than a 10% increase in disk speed. I also recommend a dual layer dvd burner, the benq dw1640 is one of the best drives out there right now. |

| Warrior | the storage issue is really a non issue, i have a server colocated with over 500gb storage (not that i would use that much, gg best buy screwups) also i already have a dual layer burner in my current compy, i just want a decent dvd drive and this one was a few $$ more than a regular drive so why not eh? thanks so much for all the input guys, keep it coming i'll prolly make the final selections and order tomorrow |
