(I'm not bragging either I'm just telling people what I'm getting)

Yeah, all of them are sweet and it can be addicting when you're looking for a new one...maybe you can save more and get something like I got. They say that those are the best PC gaming specs..I was looking at a Vigor Colossus, they said it would kill the game cause it is so strong! http://www.vigorgaming.com/index.html So I am just getting what will play pretty much all games without a problem.

Those are good specs, and this will be my first Gaming PC, I have always used Dell so I am really tired of it. I plan to get one of them awesome and beautiful green water cooling system, so awesome!

Should I get Windows Vista or XP? Right now I have 32-bit and alot of compatibility issues with many games..and too much restriction on every d**** folder. XP has always been good for me when I had it. Now theres two tough choices, cause Vista improves the graphics a bit and has awesome backgrounds if you'd notice.
