Best ways to improve this computer
I've got a template down, and I'm curious what are the best ways to improve this (assuming I'm willing to spend about another 1k)
(template came from here) ABIT IP35-E Intel E6750 Crucial Ballistix 4X1GB EVGA 8600GT Antec Nine Hundred Case Corsaire 520HX Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme w/ Scythe S-Flex 1600 Also, any comments on difficulty of putting this together?

Re: Best ways to improve this computer
What are you going to be using this for other than poker? You can get an 8800 GTX or two if you're going to be doing a lot of gaming and a quad core processor. You are also wasting some money on 4gb of RAM unless you are going to be using a 64-bit OS. You'll probably want a hard drive too. I recommend getting a raptor 10k drive since it looks like you're maximizing speed.

I'll probably use it for video watching too, possibly some gaming. I mainly just want a boss computer that'll last me 4 years or so [/ QUOTE ] in 4 years ANYTHING u buy today will be prehistoric, especially with a 1k upgrade budget.

I've had four of these so I know what I'm talking about, they are FAST. Well worth the money. If you wanna stick a 1TB drive in there that'd be good too. It's honesty a fine setup, but in 4 years I think Vista is going to be pretty dominant(Read: You will probably own it) and going from there it's hard to say that your system will be strong then.

[/ QUOTE ]good suggestion on the hard drives. What do you think are the most important changes to make my computer usable for the longest period of time? I still got 1k more to blow, so which parts are weakest?
