Everything looks fine to me except....

Why the D-Link PCI 32 Bit 10/100 Network CARD ? Whats wrong with the onboard ?

I'd get a 6600GT instead of the regular 6600

AnyHoo should be a nice system :D

Sounds like a winner Piper.I have enough tied up in my Nforce system and it is vey fast,but I still want to build a 64 bit AMD rig.All I need is a Mobo,CPU,Memory,and possibly a bigger power supply.Prices are still up there for what I want.What did the total price of your rig come to,if I may ask? :D

Oh you'll get hacked... by Phishes Rocket Launcher, Rik and his sniping from the bushes tactics... and BB with his deadly MP40...

Me, I just plug away with my PSK.

Err Yes and No, we used to play CoD (not expansion) with few members here... but stopped after 1.2 patch, has they removed bunny hopping (BB) and increased sniper movement (Rik)... but Piper was the General, had own server hosted and everything was cool.

Looking good Piper. Do you need the burner if you have a DVD-writer?

I only tried Far Cry Multi once but what I saw was pretty cool.....I am limited by what is offered as far as game choices. I am going after the ones that will offer the most slots for the least amount. Will keep you guys posted...it should be happening soon. By the way I haven't seen much of a response in the game server thread yet?????....BB said something to the effect of start it and they will come....wah ha ha :D

no not really....I just like to have backup hardware just in case...I am looking into a dual DVD writer at the moment. But if u analyze the hardware vs current components that are avail...do you really gain that much?....the naked eye really can not see for the most part the FPS changes as a result of spending all this money...lol..
