If you're not a geek, what the fuck do you need a 560 Ti for?
Well the a cheaper unoverclocked version wasn't in stock so i went all out lol
If you're going AMD, get a ATI card.
Never in my life had an ati card lol never had an AMD processor before to lol gonna check what they have in stock
Depending on how much gaming you do, a 5770 would be sufficient.
Yea i upgrade every 5 years or just usually buy a new comp so i need one that lasts
As far as hard drives go, get a smallish SSD and a 1tb Samsung Sinpoint F3 instead of that slow green one you picked out.
The SSD drives are expensive as shit and i dont need my windows to load in 8 seconds lol, dont have F3s in stock and i need a new comp yesterday
Find a motherboard that has SATA 6gb/s instead of SATA 3gb/s, and AM3+ to leave yourself open to upgrade to Bulldozer (the new AMD chip that will soon be released).
Will do but just about everything is going out of stock its like they are having a fire sale things that where there yesterday are gone today
What brand RAM?
me thinks XMS3 Crosair

Intels prices compared to the small bit their processors are better then AMDs made me go for an amd this time.
Cmmon who in their right mind pays 1000$ for a processor i can get a badas computer for that money. I know it thrums everything out there performance wise but there are no games out there that can take full advantage of that kind of power.

If they did do this, it would just be an example of them going above and beyond their customer service. It is up to you to match components properly. However, most good companies will cut you some slack (Newegg). You are buying components as a builder, therefor it is up to you to have the knowhow.
Actualy no they are responsible because they ship me the whole box already built and tested. They would have a hard time going around that if they dint want to give me my money back and id go to court.
I do choose the components but their site recommends most there is a special advanced option though but the prices are also higher for components that are sometimes not as good then the recommended ones. So if their site recommends the component in my rig its like a employee recommending something that does not work together i get my money back.
And thirdly no one likes it when someone mentions consumer inspection in my country inspectors are bitches and the fines fucking out of this world i should know got finned a few times but by different typs of inspectors.
Fortly i can just send the comp back before 8 days even if nothing is wrong with it just because i had a change of mood no explanation necessary.
In my country the costumer who knows his rights or just likes to bitch is always right, the only problem is that most dont know their rights or dont like to bitch.
I once returned a perfectly good TV 15 days after i bought it just because a noter one was in the same price range but tones better, I said no one told me that it do sent receive digital channels (if i took the time and upgraded the tvs software it would run slovenian digital channels, glad the employee dint read the manual ) even though i knew it dosent and i have a box that translates the digital channels to normal channels that any tv can run, and the employee told me that it dosent.
