yeah look at that topic and maybe you could buy crossfire the 5850s instead of buying just one 5870.

well firstly you'd need to supply us with the link of each component. a 800w PSU may sound great, but unless we know what brand and the full specs it's a bad idea to buy it. an 9800GTX is bad for a 1.3k build you can easily fit a 5870 which is like 5000 times faster lol

i really suggest you build your own. there are TONS of guides available on the internet with in-depth video recording of how to assemble a PC. you will save a BUNCH of money this way.

if not, just buy from ibuypower and in a year or two enjoy regretting wasting your money

I already know that i will be wasting money, my parents are the one who are stopping me on building my own PC. I know that if i build my own PC it would be a lot better and a lot cheaper but my parents are messed up in the head. Really fast what is a good NVIDIA graphics card?

Right now gtx 275 seems to be really good. There's no shortage of good non-ref coolers too.

If your parents are messed up in the head, why do you listen to them?

you have to convince your parents some how.. if not then just get one from ibuypower, everthing you have looks nice except the GPU. go for a GTX 260 core 216+ id really suggest a gtx 275 since it is beast.
