the 4890 is on newegg! http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=4890&x=0&y=0

Which one should i get? I was thinking this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121308

Guess i'll just get the parts then and make it myself. I just got to wait for the 4890 to come out! Supposedly coming out the 9th i think

I guess im not afraid of assembling it. It's just after I put it together, i have to install windows then what? I know i have to install drivers but do i have to mess with the bio's at all?

I'm still looking at getting a pre-built one though. I went on www.cyberpower.com and found that I can buy one close to the same that I can build one for. Is cyberpower a trusted source?

Not a terrible price, just saying because i'm not a 100% sure of my building abilities.

For right now i have a 32'' tv that i'll be playing on. In a few months i'll be buying a 22 or 24 in monitor, thinking the acer or asus one. They're at 1920 X 1200 i think.

I don't really want to spend 350ish on the gtx 285. It's a nice card, but apparently the 4890 is coming out this week so i might just have to wait and see the reviews on that.

Oh, one thing i just noticed do i need an ethernet card? Im assuming this doesn't come with one and i'd like to be able to get on the internet lol

oh really? I didn't think they were realeasing that soon. Where did you get that info from? If thats true i'll just wait a week for it to come out.

So this is my final build i think. Not sure if i like the case the best but i can't find anything else i like too much.
