    i use mwave.com but thats cuz i live near it and i just pick it up in person. prices are fairly competitive though. as for power supplys i hope im not too late. I would suggest taking a look at NVIdia's site for recommended power supplies to ensure you have one where the 12v rail has enough amps. 8800GT's suggest 26amps on the 12v rail.

    lol quadcores.. hmm.. amd is cheapest so far that i know.. lolz
     
  13. i pray to goodness that quads would be around 500 in august. buuuttt i seriously doubt itll be lol

    wonder whats next after quad cores... 8 cores? lol

    unless game developers are gay and make memory hogging games, or games with an 8 core requirement, ill stay with a quad.

    no usually game developers are there to make money and will only create games where the majority of ppl can play on their comps so the graphics requirements are usually not that high depending on the game. though the power of graphics card will keep improving. so i wouldn't be surprised if the quads dropped in price fairly soon considering the rate that new technology is moving at.
     
  16. omg serious?!

    source?!?!

    lol could buy a quad core computer here with 500gb hd and and a decent graphics card for 150 more. More like it'll be $150 by august in the U.S. lol. or the new brand of quads, penryn or something is gonna replace it.

    wait wasn't the amd's more expensive than intel with weaker performance results. or was there a price drop or something.

    something like that, although im not sure about the current prices

    i think its cause the phenoms are limited in stock cause AMD could not fab enough, plus they have that stupid hardware bug... so best wait for the B3 revision of the phenoms if you thinking AMD
