yes. lol.. could of had a soundcard though.. what ram is it? just says 4GB DDR2 667MHz (btw, thats pc5300 which isn't that good afaik unless you oc it it.. pc6400 or 8500)

 

[Harrythepot]

he didnt say what sound card mate he just gave me the specs over msn, its got 3 way SLi so im guessing no room for it

and the ram is a let down i know and me knows that

 

[ionicle]

personally, i wouldnt pay that for that

but ...in terms of value, thats ...about..ish...right

full retail prices + postage + a little more is what that about equaits to ..

Yeah, i guess it all depends on whether you are comfortable building your own. If so, you might be better to make your own, then you can design it exactly how you want.

I'm sure you can haggle him down a bit anyway.
