Hey.

Thanks for the reply.

And, I wasn't going to buy pc components right now, or right away. I was waiting for them to go down the prices, lol. If I can buy them cheaper, I will wait until them to be price down.

And lol at: "Newegg.com - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail"

Cause I have full tower, which is: Cooler Master (STC-T01-UW) STACKER w/o PS SIL/BLK.

My case is ok or enough, right? Or you thought I will buy another PC Case?

Is this graphic card ok:
EVGA 512-P3-N841-AR GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
This was what I thought of buy, when its price goes down, lol

And, did you recommand that PSU, cause mine isn't enough for my pc? Just wondering.

[AW_3_3]

lol dont count on prices dropping too much. the prices are as low as they are going to get. by the time they go down, they wont be as good as they are now. if your going to buy, now is the best time. that graphics card is good too. i recommend that power supply, because i highly highly highly recommend a good, brand name power supply. (enermax, antec, thermaltake, ocz, pcp&p)

[rewss]

Ok.
I got what you mean.
So, is my case ok or good enough?
And I chose the PSU that I have, cause of cablings.
It is modular PSU.
so, basically, it doesnt have built in cable that is glued to the PSU and it let me connect only thing I wants to connect.
You got what I mean?

[AW_3_3]

Yes i know what a modular power supply is. However, the power supply you have, if im not mistaken, has only a 4 pin cpu power connector, whereas the one i recommended has a 8 pin required by most higher end motherboards. If you ask me, modular power supplies arent all their cracked up to be. i own one, and its nothing special. i care more about the stability of the power rails. I just rerout teh cables to teh top (or bottom of the case as the case may be) out of the way. Trust me when i say, you need to invest in a good power supply. That one i recommended i used in my parents builld, and it is still running strong.

PS> Case is fine, but i still like the Antec 900 better

[rewss]

Ok.
Course I trust you.
And I didnt know higher end mobo had 8pin
