So that's 2 negatives on the case, I think I'll have to spring for the better one :P

Thanks for the replies, but I'll have to think about stuff a little bit. This is the problem with building a PC, you keep adding $10, $20, $40 until the price is way higher than what you started at xD

Thanks for the reply, I just looked, the 430W doesn't have enough connectors for the GPU anyway, so I would have to get a 500W.

I'm going to build my own gaming PC, so I made a public wish list on Newegg with what I was thinking about getting.

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=15899007

I already have a DVD burner, speakers, operating system, and a mouse + keyboard. I tried to go for the best bang for the buck here, I don't really want to spend more than what's there. One thing I was thinking about changing is the case, to this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

It doesn't look lame like the other one, plus it has 4 fans instead of 1. But, it would be $33 more, with a 430W PSU instead of a 500W. Antec's calculator said the system would take about 305W at 90% load, and 339W at 100% load. But, it said it would be 407W at 100% after a year of use. So, would 430W be enough? I'm not planning on overclocking right now.

So, is there any 'weakest link' that would hurt the build? Or does everything look pretty good?

Sorry for the essay post, but this is my first time building, lots of questions :D

Thanks in advance!

Well, it's no wonder you're so bitter...

Being old sucks.

TC's just enjoying it while he can.

Exactly, why not get gifts AND go out somewhere?

And on topic, I think I definitely want to get MGS4, and I don't really like renting games, I'd rather have it in case I want to pop it in a while from now.

I don't think some of you understand what I meant...I need $100 or less of games. So does Killzone 2(or inFamous) = MGS4 AND Bioshock? That's the main thing I was asking, do I get a $60 game and another or 3 games? Cuz MGS4 + Killzone + inFamous = $150, too much T_T

EDIT: Of course, I can spend some of my own money afterwards, but right now I'm working on my b-day list.

So, my birthday is in a few days(18 WOOOO!), and I wondering what games I should get. I can get about $100 worth of games. Right now I'm thinking:

MGS4

Bioshock

Dead Space

I already have LBP, Burnout, CoD4+5, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance 2, Fallout 3 and probably a couple more I can't think of :P

I know you don't know 100% what I like, but what do you think about my list? Other games I was thinking about are Uncharted, Motorstorm, Infamous, Prototype, or Killzone 2. So, any suggestions or do you think I'm on the right track? Thanks in advance!

P.S. I know there's a recommendation thread, but that just says "These 20-30 games are good" and doesn't really help with things like bang for the buck.

I don't think the name change will hurt it at all, if anything it'll help distance the game from the 'old' WWII series. I think the launch will be huge, probably bigger than GT4. Modern Warfare is still the biggest multiplayer FPS overall, even after it's 'sequel' came out.

And gratz or your 500th post :P
