1. WOW !
2. I second that, WOW! But, I'm guessing you are ordering this system and not building it yourself, for shame. Build it yourself, get better quality components and save yourself some money. Speaking of building one yourself, I put together a pretty nice system as part of one of my answers I'll list it below: 600W Power Supply ($42.50), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817167010 AMD Athlon FX/64/x2 Motherboard ($54), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813186085 Athlon 64x2 3800+ ($297), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103562 Geforce 7900GT 256MB GDDR3 Graphics card ($320), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130015 Optical Drives (dual DVDRW drives $80), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827101642 Western Digital 320GB SATA drive ($130), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136003 2GB PC3200 Memory ($134), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820150011 Windows XP Professional ($145), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16837102062 Case, Cooler Master Centurion 5 ($50), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16837102062 Creative X-Fi Sound Card ($107), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102188 A few notes, I went with a plain case and I cannot gaurantee that the holes with the power supply will line up with the case (it's always best to buy a power supply and case made by the same company but NEVER buy a case with a power supply). And all of this comes to about $1360, feel free to substitute any of the components I listed for something similar. I picked the least expensive ones possible (but by no means cheaply made), these are top quality components that you WILL NOT get in any off the shelf system, custom or not. Oh, those prices don't include shipping but I don't want to add $1300 of merchandise to my cart to find out. But you can, you're under no obligation to actually buy it.
3. good pc for nightmare gaming. but it'll better if you've GPU means NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GT 256MB SLI
4. Its.....ok i suggest that you: -change your 3800 to a opteron 165 (then overclock that) -CD-RW to a DVD RW -Get a floppy drive (Its extremely useful for software/bios changes) -watch out for the corsair memory, they don't work well when they are in dual channel mode -not sure how good a evga mobo is....you're better off with an Asus or MSI
