Look at my specs this computer costs roughly $210 mobo AMD 64 3800+ $371 video card 6800GT $450 ram Ballstix $210 Case $100 Power Supply $50 DVD Burner $50, Raptor HDD $218 and Water Cooling, which i wont factor in on your price but $250. so your looking at the price for a decent computer, not to high ehd. about $1659 American Dollarues! Any of that could ezly be priced up or down in todays market but if your looking for something that smokes and last for a few years, oh by the way dont get the same core i did for my CPU the Newcastle, cause i wanted to OC the crap out of it, but i heard it gets way to hot to be able to.... so if your not going to oc then its cool i guess. Hope my prices have brought you around. To understanding what you might have to spend for your computer that you may not want to upgrade in a few years, but im sure you are going to want to.
