blu ray burners are crazy expensive :-X

but managed to do that with a GTX 280 from EVGA that is a badass card, and 1gig DDR3....


Plus you got 6gb DDR3, that will kick 8gb of DDR2 in the pants all day

Hmm.. Maybe.. But.. the thing is..

I would still need a multifunction panel (70)
Catholde Kit (7)
Two LED Fans (10)
A decent monitor (150)

Which is all on top of the Build you made.

But, you've been here for a while helping me a lot (+ Rep).

I think I would just like recommendations on what I could change in my current build that would increase the price by not much more (100 or so)

For example, upgrading to something with higher Memory Clock or Core Clock or etc.
Also, any ways that are equal to what I have and cost less.

By the way, I made a post about installing an OS on a self built PC on page 2, I could use some help with that.

So what did you go with? ;-)

I can probly build you something much better for around the same money spent on all of that.... if your primary is gaming, i would step away from the AMD, and go with an INTEL.... AMD is not doing too hot these days.

right there :P i do believe that the 955 is hot
