Sorry for continually reviving this thread, but I got a lot done in these 20 days. Well, First I found some sites that compared processors, so I did a good looking Intel processor against my own. You guys were right. Despite the Intel product being about $100 more expensive, It won by a landslide. So now that i'm going with Intel, I had to switch up most of my other parts. I added a lot of items....I think all I need now is the Monitor! Here's the spreadsheet: CLICK. The green rows mean the product is currently out of stock. I decided to cut Linux from my list as well. I'll derp around with Unbuntu some more, and see how much I like it after that. Currently the total is $1429.91 That's a little high, saying the monitor will be like $200. I've heard about various promo codes, and was wondering if someone could give me one/tell me where to get them. I also read something about "autoadds". Can someone please explain to me what autoadds are? I noticed they seem to take a lot off the price of the product, which I defiantly need. EDIT: I realized the graphic card comes with $150 worth of Nvidia games. Does the AutoAdd have something to do with that?
