	OK then the 295 GTX will let you play your games at high settings at 1900 x 1200. the only thing that needs OCing is the CPU, the GPU is powerful enough and no reason to introduce more heat by OCing the GPU that is not needed. you don't need to OC the ram either, you won't even notice the difference. when you order you can ask for the ram fan if you want the fan, it should run you like $25 down the road you can upgrade to the veloci raptor or a SSD for HDD1 and use the current 500GB for file storage Edited by DST4ME - 16 Feb 2009 at 7:40pm

	Ok thanks for clearing that up and I have a few questions what does SDD stand for and in the add-on card whats the ageia high performance physx card do anything usefull. And also for my os hard drive would it just be better to switch to a veloci raptor hard drive since I tend to delete games instead of leaving them on my comp to sit. :D Also whats the diffirence in an optical drive a reader and a writer?

	what does SDD stand for: SSD stands for Solid State Drive in the add-on card whats the ageia high performance physx card do anything usefull: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1.792GB (Includes PhysX Technology) already includes PhysX on the GPU. And also for my os hard drive would it just be better to switch to a veloci raptor hard drive since I tend to delete games instead of leaving them on my comp to sit: A Velociraptor would give you a faster hard drive for seek times when running games. Also whats the diffirence in an optical drive a reader and a writer: A reader can only read a DVD a writer allows you to place (write) information on a DVD for long term storage.

Its $2945 before the discount, with the discount comes up to $2795. I gave you the V8 air cooled heatsink, its great but if oyu want liquid cooling I would say go with the Frostbite system, its much better.

	Liquid Cooling would allow your CPU to run the coolest therefore allowing for the best stable Overclock. Even if you get air cooling you need to try to get the best of that if you go that way. I decided to go with air since the max OC is not that critical to me but I got a V8 to get the best OC I can get on air. Hoping for a 3.0 or 3.2 but if I had Liquid Cooling I would be hoping for 4.0 or something like that.

	Awesome I would say I would have suggested LC but I thought not to cross the $2800 line. Other than that LC should be awesome

	looks great, when you are ready to purchase, be sure to come back and reconfig cause the save tickets don't reflect any price drops.
