+1 for cutom build. All the onnes i had done for me were always terrible or not the way i wanted.

when i actually started getting my own flow of cash, i just went ahead with my own build.

Re: Choosing new graphics card

I just completed my 1st custom build. There are still a few kinks to hammer out, but overall its a much bigger BEAST than I could have bought from a vendor!

also for the graphics card. I have a XFX GTX 260 and it makes a weird buzzing sound unrelated to the fan. I think I read somewhere that eVGA NVIDIA cards don't make the buzzing because they use better compontents. Just a heads up
