Best possible PC for under $1070

Anyone? No monitor, keyboard, etc. Nothing but the computer itself.Best possible PC for under $1070
Screw spending $1000. Just spend $600 and call it a day (Plus you'll get $95 back in rebates). If the video isn't beefy enough then get an HD4850.Best possible PC for under $1070

Wouldn't spend that much on a 2x1GB kit of RAM either, you could find 2x2GB of DDR2 800 for that price.

Apparently no one but me can see it.(ev)en though I'm not logged in) OS to me is no issue, so I never include it, especially since people have their preferance with Vista/XP/Linux.The ram is only $25 after rebate. (the G.Skil is no longer $40 with instant)
Switch out the 8800gs for a 4870.Maybe 250 - 500gb hard drive.But i can see the power supply :).Apart from that, looks like a good suggestion.

[/QUOTE] so you can see the PSU as well? I don't get it. WTF is going on with newegg?As to the other suggestions, I can see having a 500gb drive, I'd personally stick with 250gb as I keep all my imporant files and media on separate drive, but the 4870 is a significant leap in price from the 8800GS. Maybe the HD4850 instead?

[QUOTE=''GTR2addict'']cooler master hyper 600w psu (41A on the 12v rail :D)[/QUOTE] My 520w power supply can nearly put out as much amperage as that. Hell, there are 550w units that can match that number.

[QUOTE=''rik666'']''don't spend if you don't have to'' kinda thing :P.[/QUOTE]Thats the idea. Save that cash for your next (presumably budget) build and continue the cycle.

[QUOTE=''GTR2addict'']i kno, but i want 600w for when i have to upgrade my gpu in about 3 years[/QUOTE]Graphics cards only draw power off the +12v rail. The extra wattage isn't going to help any if the +12v rail is the same as on a another unit.
