Default Re: Please rate this system I put together - good deal?

C2D's? What are those?

Yeah, some of the items are non-standard I realize but price isn't a huge issue as much as getting a computer she'll like using. Still, like others said, it seems rather high. You can get a decent laptop for the price. What other places are good for customizing?

One question - I put together a slightly better system on Dell for the same price except a Core2 E6600 and 2GB memory this time. Only problem is they force the widescreen monitors. Playing poker, I only use the standard size. Is a widescreen going to stretch everything sideways? I read a review on TomsHardware and they say they don't even display DVD's very well. Anyone use or have opinions on the 20" or 22" widescreens?
