Thank you for the time, I am going to go ahead and order by this Friday. My friends graphics card is on hold, but I am going to order the parts, even if I have to wait a bit.

Also I am going to buy windows 7, I might be keeping it on the credit card for a bit.

Okay, $500 with OS? Hope you don't mind Windows 8 beta until you can buy windows 7 or the like.

Best I could do. Windows 8 beta will get you along until you can get a different Windows (i.e. 7)
There are a couple things you can do to reduce shipping, but hopefully it won't be horrible. Namely saving on that Optical drive.

Hope all works well.

In my experiance, this is just not doable on $500. For "Flawless" performance, you're looking at a minimum of $1k, prolly more like $1.2-1.5k.

Sorry.

I would like to ask... what brand of power supply is it?
Other than that, seems like a fairly decent deal.

Quite honestly, I would check, if but to know whether you should change it out when you have the money to in the future, or whether it is a fine , good PSU.

Just what I suggest.
