Upgrading my gaming rig:

7600GT to Visiontek HD 4850

E6420 to E8400 & ASUS P5Q Pro bundle

19" 1440x900 2MS Samsung to 22" 16x10 5ms Acer lcd <- not yet decided 100% on Acer

2x1GB Crucial ballistix 800 to 2x2GB G.Skill 800

Dead Corsair 520HX to Corsair 750W 750TX <- i know this is overkill, since I won't be OC'ing or running xfire/SLI, but the 750W, 650W and 520W are all about the same price, so I figure, why not? Good idea?

64-bit Vista Home Premium OEM

The above to go with my existing Seagate 7200.10 HDD and DVD RW drive.

Total price $712.92

Pull the trigger?
 
Just over $900 got me:

Acer 22" lcd 16x10 res
G Skill 2x2GB 800's (compatible w/MB per ASUS manual)
Visiontek ATI HD 4850 (first ATI in over 5 years)
E8400 + ASUS P5Q Pro New Egg combo
Corsair 520HX
Arctic Cooler (just for CPU longevity)
Vista Home Premium 64-bit (for the 4gb's of ram of course!)
Cyberpower surge protector

:santa: :santa: :santa:

Luckily I (err the wife) got it on Bill-Me-Later so the kid still gets his xmas ;)
