This machine has pretty much met my budget, especially since I have to pay sales tax.  I do plan on adding another 280 next year down the road.  I mainly play WOW and Flightsim X so the single should handle very nicely.

Ok, I was just trying to see if you really need that 1000w psu or we could drop you down.

if you want you can get away with a 860w psu but your 1000w is the best choice.

the rest looks great from my point of view.

I dont know if RiceEatin2000GT has something to add but looks good to me

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.  Nothing worse than waiting for your new pc to arrive and yet nothing better than waiting for your new pc to arrice.  Smile
