Dual core, 2.66MHz, 1333MHz front side bus, before overclocking. This CPU is in the sweet spot of price/performance. A little more performance will cost a lot. If you overclock it, replace the stock cooler - but you don't need to overclock this for good performance.

Good looking case with plenty of cooling using four high quality quiet fans. Front panel on the top of the case is very convenient with the computer on floor. My favorite case.

GeForce 8800GT is a new card and hard to get. But it is worth the wait! New 65nm chip means it is cooler running, but performs as well as its more expensive 8800Gxx brothers, but at a significantly lower price! I picked the XFX because of their good warranty.

You don't have to use an Antec power supply with an Antec case, but this happens to be a very nice unit. Seasonic is better, but twice the price. 430-watts is more than enough for this system. 80% efficient with so it runs cooler even though it has a quiet, low RPM fan. Modular cables so your case is not cluttered with unused cables.

Get the "New G15". This gamer's keyboard has been improved by making it smaller, and changing the backlight from blue (which was barely readable except in the dark) to a much more useful, and just as cool looking amber.

Price has dropped with the release of the new n52te version, which adds backlighting for 2X the cost. Use this and you will never need to look away from the screen to re-position your hand the keyboard again.

The ultimate graphics in a game today.
