Here's my take on what you should build:

Me personally though, I'd dump the Razer keyboard and pay a bit more for a Deck, especially since you were complaining about desk space.

Also, don't forget to pick up a NICE mousepad for your mouse. I personally love my NOS icemat V2.

EDIT:

What's improved over Bennie's is: faster CPU, faster GPU, more HDD capacity, Lian-Li Case, 80+ efficient PSU.

It's $910 - 10 rebate = $900 including peripherals.

Yeah if I get that deck it will cost me like 50 bucks more I mean I can make the space have to see what i have but I still think mine I did last night is the best so far for the price. Have to look over them a bit more though.

I'de personally go with an Intel Quad Core CPU and overclock it. I also prefer Nvidia cards to ATI this generation having used both...I like the Nvidia control panel better then ATI catalyst center and drivers. As for the keyboard you should get a logitech g15! I got a G15 and love it. I can view the cpu/ram usage on my keyboard, change songs in itunes or media player while gaming, use programs like fraps or coretemp, view the time, etc.

Well, I'm pretty sure we established the Antec 300 may have problems with the newer graphics cards being too long . . . so you're build might need a different case.

Next, Biostar makes crappy motherboards. I've dealt with them numerous times in the past, and their support has always been lacking. Get either a Gigabyte or an Asus, you'll be better off.

Next, the Diamondback is for smaller hands. If you're used to a raised body ala Logitech MX series get the Deathadder. Between the two I prefer my Deathadder a lot more.

Otherwise everything looks alright.

Yeah maybe your right I will look over it though some more got work now when I come home I will check it out again.

Your specs are good but why just 2 gb I rather have 4 gb, a thermalike m9 or coolmaster 690 case, the rest isnt that bad.

I need some help do you guys think it is better for me to get Vista now and then upgrade in October to Windows 7 cause it is 50 dollars for home premium for pre order now and I will have to pay 50 bucks more then if I had to do it later. Because if I just use Windows 7 beta I will have to upgrade to the full version which is priced at 200 dollars.

Actually nvm it seems tat if you buy Vista now you get a free coupon to upgrade to Windows 7.

I don't know. You're basically paying $100 for Vista Premium 64 + $50 for the Windows 7 upgrade. On the other hand you're paying $200 for Windows 7 Home Premium full retail. I don't know about the OEM version though. The full OEM version of Windows 7 could also be $150.

Edit: I say just do what you were doing before. Get the Windows 7 RC. You'll have ample time to see if you can get 7 for cheaper until March 2010 or you can just get Vista for $100.
