Built me a computer!

[ChubbyE]

ok guys, i need a new computer. i dont care how easy it is im not attempting to purchase all the parts and put it together myself. I was thinking of buying a computer from www.ibuypower.com

I am using this computer for COLLEGE (word,powerpoint,etc) and BF2
I want this computer to last for a few years
I just need the box, and I'll buy a flatscreen monitor IF its worth it (was looking at the 19 inch gaming flat screen)

Please dont write back and tell me what i need, ive been looking around in threads and i dont understand and still cant build it correctly. Can someone please build me one and I'll just go and buy it?

My budget for the box is $1,000-$1500 - price can go up if monitor is included.

a good rig could be easily done for $1200~ did u see the "new rig" thread? consider e6400, drop to 2 gig ram, and a GTS, case Antec 900 = done!

do you need other stuff like keyboard/mouse operating system?

hey man, saw your post on "new rig" and i went to ibuypower.com and i tried to build it and i got all confused so i made this thread. I really dont know anything about computers :cry:

maybe if you can break it down for me a little better?

by the way, i can spent more money if its REALLY worth it.

ok so heres what i have so far...

420w power supply
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600
Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooling Fan
eVGA NForce 680i
Mushkin 2048MB [1024MB X2]
VIDEO CARD IM CONFUSED ABOUT, THERE $$$ HELP ME!!!!
7,200rpm 500gb hardrive (also have 200gb external on my desk)
Sony CD/DVD Drive
NO CD-RW/DVD-RW drive (do i need one?!)
Creative Lab Sound Blaster Audigy SE
Re-use OEM speakers + mouse
stock floppy
ViewSonic 19" VX922 TFT LCD Monitor [Extreme Gaming] (opinions???)
Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard
4 USB ports
MS Windows XP Professional
MS Office 2007 Basic Edition
$20 voltage regulator

thats it. I need help with the video card and monitor. I could re-use my monitor that i have now (NEC FE 992) but if a nice 19 inch flat screen for $100 more i'll take it. Also, if I can cut prices anywhere (something i dont really need) i'll also like to cut up the price as well. Please let me know i want to order ASAP. comes with 3 year warranty and life time tech support

its $2025 right now without upgrading my video card.... why so expensive? where can i cut corners...thanks!

um u dont need a e6600 u can get a e6300 which is good still.
u dont need 500gbs plus ur 200gb external hard drive. (unless if u want all that p0rn on ur comp to make it slower):yay:
i would get a 8600gts since they are better at lower resultions.
maybe not a gaming screen???
i think that the motherboard is SLI which u dont need unless u want to later on get another GFX card with the 1 u have. both the cards have to be the same.u might be able to get the cheap vista for cheaper then xp PRO(not sure??)

Its so expensive since your buying a pre-built PC! That total would be $1500 so far if you were building yourself(or maybe even less).

For a video card, the 8800GTS 320mb is great, but it doesnt seem to fit your budget well.
