Running your system at only 2.72GHz on air (stock Intel heatsink) with stock volts.......how can you put a price on this?
2x ATI x1900 cards in crossfire on stock air at only 712 core/738 mem.....$850
Stock Intel D975XBX motherboard.....$210
Taking the WR in AM3 away from AMD running with phase on the CPU and GPUs .......priceless

i think the 17GBP to get a soundblaster sound card would be worth it. Integrated sound will give u a performance hit as the CPU will be doing the work......u want to get the best GFX card u can afford, if i were u i would consider using any old monitor to save money (my bet is the 1 that comes with that system will be slow response time so your better off without it). Get the sys without the monitor (just use the 1 u already have), use that money to upgrade the gfx, buy a better monitor when u have the money....good luck, compromising with PC's is an ugly business
