Hi everyone I finally decided to buy a system here its in stage 3 ticket config#178508 Let me know if you guys think I missed anything but at $8500 I doubt it lol. I also bought a 24" samsung model 245T. I never had a duel boot computer does it use up a lot more resources? Then again I never had a system this powerful its replacing a 2001 Dell demension 8100. Though I upgraded the dell on everything but the motherboard over the years. I wasnt sure if I should upgrade the sound system I have a Klipsch 5.1 promedia system which they dont make any more. It is a great sounding system 500watt so I am keeping it even though it had many problems and was replaced 3 times under warrenty. Thats probably why it was discontinued but Klipsch was real cool and sent me many extra speakers and control pods as spares but I havent had any more problems with it. I CANT WAIT. should I have overclocked the memory? I did the processor and video card.

I would say over clock the ram so you get the fans.

dual boot means you got 2 OS to boot from, I think that you are thinking both OS-s are running at the same time, they are not.

do you really need the bluray and TV card?

also get 8GB of lower speed ram, the OC will make it catch-up

get teh mouse and keyboard yourself you can find a better price.

take your support upto 4 years.

also I'm not sure if you need the liquid cooling for the gpu

Shocked wow. That is one smoking configuration.  You are going to Heart that system. I can't imagine too many ways to make that much faster than it's going to be. I'm really trying to be citical, but it's so hard to find fault with any of your selections. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures of this system posted.Thumbs%20Up
