Can someone...

The OS took a big chunk. If you have an OS already it would have been real cheaper. You could use the money to get a nice 9800GT or something. I would step down on the HDD. Come on, do you really need 750GB of space?

Why not buy an OEM OS?

Opinions? Good? bad? Piece of crap? I dont game. But, Maybe if someone can find a better mobo that will support SLI/Crossfire that would be cool. Also, should I keep the 4gb or ram? or go with 2 gb?
 
Looks fine to me if you aren't gaming. Since you're on Vista, 4GB isn't a bad choice.

Also, why would you need SLI/Crossfire if you aren't gaming?
 
Thanks for the info.
How well do you think this system will run? I can take the truth. haha. Is the mobo good? or should I get a better one?
 
The truth will be fine, it will be nice and quick. I would get a different mobo if you were getting into overclocking.
