Its not bad for a prebuilt pc but i would still suggest you buying the parts and building it yourself. Its very easy to build a computer and it saves you alot of money and best thing about buying a new pc is ofcourse building it yourself! (unpacking every single box is very orgasmic mmm the smell of fresh computer parts in the morning uuh) :D

And no matter what dont buy your OS <_< they are so easy to get for free its not worth it to pay like 200€ for them. (and dont be afraid of choosing vista, theres nothing wrong with it, only nubs who uses it with crappy pc's and have no clue how to disable user account control thinks its worse than xp)

I got bored and made a list of good parts for pc:

http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/Shopp ... ubmit=view

Note: It only costs about 100$ more than the prebuilt one and has alot better components, for example c2quad Q9300 (brand new, has more l2 cache, higher fsb speed and clocks) and overclocked EVGA 9800 GX2 which is alot better than SLI 8800 GTS's (also not all games support SLI so it has its problems, btw is it confirmed Aion has SLI support?)
and EVGA has great warranty and a step-up program where you can upgrade your graphics card by just handing over your last one and paying the difference in money between the newer and older one, in other words you can get a new and better graphic card for only like 100$ with the program (just remember to register your product in 30 days or its over, i forgot to do that)

Ofcourse this set lacks a OS and keyboard/mouse, but OS you can just download for free and keyboard and mouses are dirt cheap unless you want the best ones for gaming (which are only really needed for playing pro in fps/rts games)
And also Antec twelve hundred is probably the best performance/price case there is because it has incredible airflow and it cools your system nicely, also it has great looks (and has really handy usb,fireware,audio,mic etc. ports infront/ontop of the case) :D

ooo good point about the SLI support.....I always thought SLI was just a way of rendering Direct3D (splitting the workload between the 2 cards)

and good call on the Q9300....if I bought my rig last month I would have went with the Q6600.....good thing i waited; looks like im gonna opt for the Q9300 since its coming down in price as well.
At this rate of the 8800s dropping in price, I might just go with SLI 8800GTs instead of 9600GTs (8800s slightly better in performance)
