New Build Blueprint

@ Jaidyn it'll be playing one game. Video and music renderer and that's about it. The need for so much RAM is due to background tasks such as Microsoft office and an incideous (if that's even a word) amount of chat clients. Such as MSN, AIM, YAHOO, IRC, and Skype all at the same time. As well as a very large amount of monitoring such as home and pc security, l33tsig, whatpulse, ect, ect.

It's not so much what is active that will bother me it's what is in background or inactive but resident.

@gary I would stay away from those sites, build your own, or even better help your local computer store stay in business and help him keep food on the table.

@Austin, They are about a mile from my house I built my Linux PC from them. Parted out an older HP and reused optical and hard drive. They will sell all the pieces and you can build it.

    6 or 7 year old PC with many upgrades. I also have a homebuilt PC running Linux AMD Athlon II 64, Jetway MB LinuxMint 9 (isadora) GNOME Built with a new case and motherboard, Recycled hard and optical drives for under $300. With Wine I can run just about anything on it, but will always need Windows for iTunes and especially work.
Ok thanks for the info, I thought it was some cheap ripoff site like ibuypower or likewise.
