Possible "new" computer... Good? Bad?

Pants · 10-20-2005, 09:22 AM

This is a very budget system, I still tried to get quality stuff, though...

Thermaltake Case (Steel + Plastic, 2 120mm fans)
Aspire 500W PS
AMD 64 3000+ Venice 939-pin
Asus A8N-SLI nForce4
1 GB PNY Optima PC 3200 RAM
PNY Geforce 6600 GT 128 MB
Seagate Baracuda 160 GB HDD (7,200 RPM of course)
NEC 16x DVD Burner/etc

All of this plus keyboard and headphones from Newegg is $805

Now, I can get pretty much the same exact system (minus keyboard and headphones and the PS is 450W), already assembled for around $840 from www.cyberpowerinc.com Except there I get a free copy of HL2, wich I would probably sell for around $30.

Should I buy all that from Newegg, or are there better places with better deals, or should I save myself a shit ton of trouble and just get the system already assembled (of course, I have no idea what parts they use, the specs are the same though)?

Any help would be appreciated.
