Very nice rig you've got going there.

I like most of it, but I've always been partial to ATI or Radeon cards... Then again, I haven't built a comp in about 2 years now, and cards change quickly....

To be honest I've always preferred ATI over nVidia too, but I also prefer AMD over Intel, so you have that one sorted. Then again, I recently bought a processor with both an Intel CPU and nVidia GFX card. I think the divide between each rivalling company is narrowing anyway.

As for the specs, they're rather tasty. I'm jealous of the 3GHz - it would have cost an extra $300 to bump mine up to that level and I just didn't have the money...

i normally go for the ATI cards myself as well (current card is the Radeon X1600pro) but this m-board is built for nVidia and i used to like the old TNT range.

@utherdoul- its actually 6000+ not a 3GHz. i don't know what the 3 stands for. it was just in the specs.

on a side note. i got the 22-inch widescreend LCD monitor to compliment this new machine as well. can anyone say F*** YEAH!!!!

I kindof like Intel graphics cards myself. But then again your talking to a guy who has a 2001 1GHZ 128MB of RAM computer that I got on ebay for 9.99$...heh.

As far as I can see that rig is only missing one thing.
