I want a Thermaltake XPressar for my Phenom 940 and OC that thing to 5 ghz.
I'm telling you, you should have went with that 40k:1 contrast ratio monitor. It will give image quality near that of a CRT monitor without the CRT effect.

That depends on the person really. For me, I didn't really care about the difference. While it would be a nice thing to have, it wasnt enough (for me) to warrant spending the extra cash. I already went over my "hope" limit by $235. And besides, i already bought it so it's kinda moot to mention it now :-P
Good luck with it agricola, are you going to start out with a barebones set or starting from scratch?
I'm starting from scratch, buying a piece at a time until it's ready to use or I file for bankruptcy!

Honestly you shouldn't buy a computer like that. By the time you get the last component and can put it together to use the 1st piece you bought will be cheaper than it was or you can get something faster for the same price you paid.. you should just set the money aside and buy it all at once in the summer even if you have to hide the money from yourself

Do not do it like this. I did this and got ..well... fucked..
I started out with the motherboard and processor..... waited some time... then memory then video card. Finally after about 6 months i put it all together, BOOM. I had a DOA motherboard... couldnt send it back now because it was just tooooo late...
So if anyones looking for a good eVGA AGP video card, I've got one. nVida.
