Finalizing build, what do you guys think?
after a couple weeks of researching, posting, and getting my first stab at this build run through the wringer by the community, i've come back with the following as my second attempt at finalizing this my second build ever. prices include tax and S&H except for newegg and directron which is outlined at the bottom.
I haven't placed any orders yet but will do so late tonight as i don't want to miss out on some of the specials that will end very soon. suggestions/comments? i'm particularly looking for some guidance for an ups. i posted a thread in another forum but have yet to receive a reply.
